I am using an NSOutlineView
in my App so i downloaded Apples Photo Search Sample App which uses an
NSOutlineView. While using it I noticed that it gives the root/ header object of the outline view a Gradient Background, so I looked through the code
but I couldn't see what did it. Would someone mind looking through the
code and then telling me what code gave the root object a background?
Here's the link to the Photo Search Download Page -

Thanks!

This:

- (BOOL)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView isGroupItem:(id)item {
    return [item isKindOfClass:[SearchQuery class]];
}


But also the full width cell part is important:

- (NSCell *)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView dataCellForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn item:(id)item {
    // The "nil" tableColumn is an indicator for the "full width" row
    if (tableColumn == nil) {
        if ([item isKindOfClass:[SearchQuery class]]) {
            return iGroupRowCell;
} else if ([item isKindOfClass:[SearchItem class]] && [item metadataItem] == nil) { // For failed items with no metdata, we also use the group row cell
            return iGroupRowCell;
        }
    }
    return nil;
}
