Name
NSTableColumn — Mac OS X 10.0
Synopsis
This class represents a column in an NSTableView
.
In particular, NSTableColumn
stores display
attributes of the table column, such as the display width, whether
the table column may be resized, and whether it is editable.
Every column in a table has a unique identifier, which is accessed
with the methods setIdentifier
: and
identifier
.
Associated with a table column object are two
NSCell
s: the header cell and the data cell. The
header cell is responsible for the appearance of the table column
header. To access the table column’s header cell,
use the methods setHeaderCell
: and
headerCell
.
The data cell of a table column determines how data in the column is
displayed. By default the data cell is an instance of
NSTextFieldCell
, which provides for displayed and
editing text data. However, you could change the data cell of a table
column to display controls other than a text field. For example, if
you wanted to display Boolean information in your table column, you
could set the data cell to an instance of
NSButtonCell
that is configured as a checkbox. If
you wanted a column of slider controls, you could set the data cell
of the column to an instance of NSSliderCell
. To
access the data cell use the methods setDataCell
:
and dataCell
.
