That's no longer an issue on Leopard, which now uses single-click table editing. The people who complained about that were also under the (mistaken) impression that you couldn't use tab-navigation with a tableview, IIRC, and thought you'd have to double-click each row to edit it (which I agree would be tedious). I won't bother restating all of my dislikes for the form; I'd like something that looks more modern and is amenable to dynamic content without hacking it to death. If you and other developers prefer the form for function/aesthetics, though, I'll leave it alone. Users are going to complain no matter what, so I figured this was a good time for massive change :). >Also I'm not sure how the crossref arrow button and complex >string editing work all properly. I thought the text import sheet tableview had complex string editing? I had both working in my outline view test, though that code is really dated. The arrow button should be pretty easy as well using BDSKFormCell or a similar class. Incidentally, Apple now provides an arrow button via NSImage, although the background is black. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
