Single Column Table View with Core Data backed Custom Cell View?
Hey Guys, I have a Core Data entity called Email all set and ready to go. Following Matt's example from the book, I was able to create a regular old NSTableView and bound the Core Data Email entity's values to each column in the tableview. This works great. What I'm now trying to do is make a single column tableview where each row will display a custom cell view constructed from my Core Data Email object. With me so far? :) Basically, if you look at the Mail app from OS X Lion, I'm trying to create that side bar single column tableview where each email message has a custom table cellview showing the from, to, subject, and summary for each Core Data email values. With a regular old tableview this is easy, I'm just a little lost as to how to get a single column table view to render a custom cell view that uses Core Data binding to match my Email NSArray Controller. This is a symbolic representation of what i'm trying to achieve: NSTableView ( 1 column)
NSColumn (bound to my CoreData Email entity) > NSTableCellView ( I want this to show the actual text fields for the bound coredata object for that row i.e. email.to, email.from, email.subject, etc.)
A little lost and any help would be much appreciated. Thanks :) Haris
I think you nspredicates.… depending on the columns in the table. Think SQL.… Terry Moore On 8/12/2011, at 8:31 PM, Haris Amin <aminharis7@gmail.com> wrote:
