I'm trying to remove the highlighted appearance from the selected row
of an NSOutlineView (and draw the row like an unselected row). I'm
overriding highlightSelectionInClipRect: as a no-op, to remove the
whole row's selection background. I'm also overriding
preparedCellAtColumn:row: to call super, then call setHighlighted:NO
on the cell before returning it. This does much of what I want: the
blue background is gone.
However, if I edit a cell, then click away to end editing, the last-
edited cell's text is drawn in white. Since my outline view has a
white background, the text disappears. I'd like the text to draw in
black at all times. What I've tried:
1. When editing ends, unselect the row. This won't work because I need
the selection as an internal pointer of the last cell edited.
2. In preparedCellAtColumn:row:, also calling setTextColor:[NSColor
blackColor] on the cell. This doesn't fix the problem - the text still
draws white.
3. Using a custom NSTextFieldCell subclass (via IB), which overrides
textColor to always return [NSColor blackColor]. This also doesn't
work - the text draws white.
Is there any way to get the appearance I'd like? I haven't seen any
specific methods to control the appearance of the selected row, and
I'm out of obvious places to set the text color.
Thanks in advance.
