When I was a Cocoa noob, I found NSTableView to be straightforward to use for straightforward needs (e.g. simple lists). Coming from the classic Mac OS and the dreadful List Manager, it was a breath of fresh air. As time has passed, NSTableView has become very complicated. But I think it has remained true to its original purpose - easy enough for simple needs. You can ignore all the added stuff if you want. I would have preferred NSTableView to have devolved into multiple classes, maybe NSViewTableView, but because it is subclassed for NSOutlineView, I can see that would lead to further complications keeping the two classes in step feature-wise. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
