This may be off-topic, but I think it has a lot to do with Objective-C, XCode, and Cocoa. If it is off-topic, direct me to the correct list.
I need to build an app that utilizes a basically standard-usability spreadsheet that holds user-provided integer and/or floating point data (by user entry and/or files, ascii and/or binary). I wanted to write it in Cocoa. I thought that NEXT, and then OSX, were firmly established and matured frameworks.
I just read the MacTech article on NSTableView (MacTech - v.18-no.9, Sept.2002) and my impression from that article is that NSTableView is NOT applicable "cell-based display and selection like you would find in a spreadsheet." [MacTech, v.18, no.9, page 8, column 1, Introduction, paragraph 2, line 8]
Java, a much younger framework, has a Table class and a simple example of a spreadsheet. Has anybody had experience using that?
Has anybody been able to use NSTableView for spreadsheet-like work? Is it possible? Do you have to write your own table classes - just to display data in a manner that has been in common use since the late-80's - ~15 years?
What do people use?
Thanks in advance for any help.
