Hello, I have been searching how to achieve this. 
I have a NSTableView and the NSTableCells are a subclass I made.
Now I want to change the backgorund color of the table row when mouse over.  In 
my SubClass of NSTextFieldCell I tried overriding these methods
- (BOOL)startTrackingAt:(NSPoint)startPoint inView:(NSView *)controlView{
        NSLog(@"tracking.. %@",[self stringValue]);
        return YES;
}


- (BOOL)trackMouse:(NSEvent *)theEvent inRect:(NSRect)cellFrame ofView:(NSView 
*)controlView untilMouseUp:(BOOL)untilMouseUp{
        NSLog(@"here");
        return YES;
}


off course I see nothing of the logs.. it was just a tryout. .. now i dunno how 
to make NSTextFieldCell respond to mouse events, i.e a mouse entered, this for 
NSResponder class and subclasses, so  I was thinking in defining a 
NSTrackingArea, but because of NSTextField don't accept mouseEntered method 
then  I dunno.

I thought then maybe to subclass NSTableView, and do something with the point f 
the mouse, and then get the row at point, form the NSTableView, but this method 
returns me a integer,  so then I will multiply by the row height and create a 
NSREct and draw a background in that rect, but I dunno if this is a good 
approach.

Any ideas?


Thanks


Gustavo
