10.5's collection view is, safe to say, kind of a train wreck. I've had to work around quite a few things. Your problem is solvable by asking the NSCollectionViewItem created for your new table element for its view and to have that view scrollRectToVisible: for its bounds.
If you need to get the ViewItem for a specific index (available via NSCollectionView's itemAtIndex: under 10.6), you'll need to go into "slightly undocumented" land and look at the collection view's _targetItems ivar. It contains the list of NSCollectionViewItems currently displayed in the collection view. Make sure you conditionalize this for 10.6 as _targetItems isn't there anymore. Hope that helps -- Jim http://nukethemfromorbit.com On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 9:32 AM, Half Activist <halfactiv...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > I'm using a NSCollectionView to display a stack of items (a table) > but since what's display is far too complex to be laid out programmatically > I went for the NSCollectionView.
