I'm going to try both types of table - but I need to find good documentation, preferably with examples, first. Right now, however, I've decided that this is useful future functionality, and not core to the software. So I've gone back to plan a - checkboxes in NSTableView (still need to work that out too, but it should be simpler), and I've put a load of extra code in to support the additional flexibility that I'd like to have in the future (so that I don't have to rewrite my plugins once I get this going just as I'd like).
I'm sorry to be such a wimp - but right now this is just 'too hard'. Once I've worked out how the code will look, I'll drop you a personal email with the code that I used (rather than cluttering up this forum by resurrecting what will, by then, be an old thread).
