Re: Implementing a Slightly Unusual NSTableView

Hi Graham, This is great - worked like a charm first time. Many, many thanks! The only thing I think I need to do now is to get the TableView to become first responder when I don't click on a checkbox. I think I'm nearly there as well. What I have done is make the tableview accept

Hi Peter, You'll note my code says nothing about first responder, so you should get whatever the table view is set to do. In my use of this code, my table view is actually in a floating window and I've set it only to become key if needed - and so for changing selection or toggling checkbo

You should avoid to include headers from other headers whenever possible. It reduce include graph complexity and improve build time. For example, you do not have to include the ClassTwo.h to declare a ClassTwo ivar. Just tell the compiler that ClassTwo is a class (and import ClassTwo.h from
