NSTableView: Type selecting in one column but not another
I was wondering if it was possible to get finer control over what type selecting searches in a row. I have two columns in my table which both contain text. It only makes sense to match what the user is typing to the text found in the first column. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find a way to disable type selection on the second column. It seems to be an all-or-nothing feature. I am certain I could handle this myself by disabling the feature and then modifying the key down method to do the right thing, but was hoping I had missed something. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

The -tableView:typeSelectStringForTableColumn:row: method documentation says: Return Value A string that is used in type select comparison for row and tableColumn. Return nil if the row or tableColumn should not be searched. -- I.S. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Implement -tableView:typeSelectStringForTableColumn:row: on your delegate and only return a value for the columns you're interested in having type select work with.
