Steve,
cocoa-dev is the list you want, but to answer your question, you want
to use the NSMatrix class. NSTableView is for rows, like a database
table; NSMatrix is for cells, like a spreadsheet. I believe I've seen
an open source project for just such a basic spreadsheet component
(using NSMatrix); you should google for it or ask over at cocoa-dev to
see if anyone knows about it. I think I may have saw it at StepWise, in
Softrak. (Last time I checked, though, Softrak wasn't running.)
Regards,
Eric Ocean

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.
