This is sensible, well-reasonable, believable and … not true. :) This is from the table view programming guide: > "While the NSTableViewDelegate Protocol protocol declares the data providing > methods as @optional, all datasources that programmatically populate > cell-based table views must implement those methods. The methods that that > provide the number of rows and the content for each item within the table are > marked as @optional because they are optional when using Cocoa bindings." and the NSTableViewDelegate protocol reference says essentially the same thing. My guess is that Chuck didn't declare his data source class as conforming to NSTableViewDelegate, and that in that case the table view implementation falls back to looking for informal conformance. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
