NSTableView, highlight color

[Marko Riedel]

Hi all,

setting a table's background is easy, but how do I set it's highlight color?

I tried using an attributed string in tableWillDisplayCell:, but to no avail.

Best regards,

Marko

Not sure, what you want to achive, but there is setBackgroundColor: on NSTableView which will set the colour of the actual table background. In the delegate method tableView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:row: you may set the cell background, the value to display is only set later on and is determined by the data source.

Hope this helps,
Fred

Hello there,

I tried it like this:

- (void)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView
  willDisplayCell:(id)aCell
   forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn
              row:(NSInteger)rowIndex
{
  NSLog(@"here");
  [aCell setBackgroundColor:[NSColor redColor]];
}

Is that what you mean? I get a bunch of log messages, so it is getting called, although not nearly enough given the size of the tables being displayed. Anyhow, there is no red background to be seen anywhere.

I suspect I'm missing something very basic here.

Best regards,

Marko

If you want the same colour for all cells you should rather change the data cell of the column.

Your code should work, but you may also have to set setDrawsBackground: to YES.  And of course the cells needs to respond to these two methods. (This works int he default case)

I'll try this right now.

I don't want to change all cells, only the ones in the selected row if there is one.

Hello there,

with setDrawsBackground: I do indeed get a red background. But it does not fill the entire space between two grid lines of the table. I get grey margins on the left and on the right, like this

+------------+
|GRRRRRRRRRRG|
+------------+

How can I turn of these margins so that the selected row has a uniform red background, with items delineated by grey grid lines and no grey margins?

Marko

Most likely these borders get caused by the code in NSTableView
frameOfCellAtColumn:row:. You could try and play with the values there
and report back to us.

[Marko Riedel]

Hi there,

thanks for your reply, very helpful as always. My priority at this time is to implement the features requested of the application that I'm working on, so I decided not to spend too much time on this and for now, confine myself to changing the table background. (The goal was to improve legibility for an end user who found that the black on dark grey was hard to read.)

Best regards,

Marko
