I have a NSTableView where I would like to have text elipsis in cells. Do you know how I have to proceed?
Thanks in advance for your help,

In the datasource method objectValueForTableColumn you need to create a NSAttributedString with your desired text format and return it.
Create a paragraph style and set its line break mode.
[pStyle setLineBreakMode: NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail]
Then set the paragraph style as an attribute to the attributed string.

I'm playing a bit with NSTableView and CoreDate in Swift and all works almost ok but still can't fix an issue with cutted text in column's TableViewCell. It always shows ellipsis where text is loger than certain number of characters and I can't change it neither by setup in IB nor by changing column width and plaing with layout constraints.see attached screenshot
Any hint much appreciated, thanks.
Finally I found the solution and used code line below (cell is NSTableCellView)
cell.textField!.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByWordWrapping
plus addd constraints to cell text fields
I am completely a newbie in Mac OSX development. I have a View based NSTableView with 3 columns. Here are the structures of the columns:
TableColumn1->Table Cell View->NSImageView, NSTextField1, NSTextField2
TableColumn2->Table Cell View->NSImageView
TableColumn3->NSButton
I want to control the editable/hidden/etc properties of these controls. Such as, i need to hide the NSButton (regular button, not a check box or radio button) in 3rd column depending on some condition or i would need to change the text color of NSTextField2 in 1st column.
How can i do that. I've searched on Google, but didn't get any suitable solution. :(
I hope i will get the best solution here. Can anyone please help me to get out of this?
Thanks in advance. :)
I hope you are setting tag of all views that contains in cell.
first you have to find the cell
UITableViewCell * cell = (UITableViewCell *)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
Then
UITextField *tempTextField = (UITextField *)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:5];
tempTextField.text = #""; //what you like to change
Hope this will help you.
first of all lets say that i searched quite a bit for an answer to this and wasnt able to find one.
i have a nstableview, with 5 columns, all with text field cells. one of these columns is a password column. i would like taht this column hides the typed chars. how can that be done? the only way i found by googeling was to insert a "image and text cell view", delete the picture and the textbox and enter a secure textbox. but i dont like this option because the password column would look different then the Others and if possible i would like to stay with the default appearance of a normal nstableview.
is this possible? if yes, how?
thanks!

Open your .xib file
In your TableView select the Text Cell you want to change to a "password" style
Go to Identity Inspector
In "Class" field replace NSTextFieldCell with NSSecureTextFieldCell
That's it :)
I am new to cocoa. I will need to implement an NSoutlineview for 10.6 OS X and above. I have hierarchy of data which must be shown in the form of outlineview. The cell for outline view must contain an image and text. Could some body please suggest on how to go a head with this?
thanks
an outlineview is basically just a tableview so all tutorials for NSTableView apply to it
only the dataSource methods differ
so: http://www.martinkahr.com/2007/05/04/nscell-image-and-text-sample/
and combine it will a tutorial of a cell based outline. e.g. http://devcry.heiho.net/2012/02/treeview-in-cocoa-nsoutlineview.html
For your best practice you can refer this sample code Sourceview
To customize your text you need to set your cell as ImageAndText cell as shown in that samplecode
I've got an column of cells in an NSTableView that get their text color from the app's preference plist. I want to set the text color to white when highlighted, but have been unable to figure out a good way to do this.
Anybody got any ideas?
Assuming there's no easier way to do this, implement the tableView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:row: delegate method to set the cell's textColor to either [NSColor alternateSelectedControlTextColor] or [NSColor selectedControlTextColor] depending on whether rowIndex is in the table view's selectedRowIndexes set.
(The “selected” in “{alternateS,s}electedControlTextColor” refers to the control, not the text. You're using the alternate (or not alternate) text color for the selected control, which is the table view.)
