I am trying to implement a method that responds to a double-click on an uneditable row in an NSTableView. I have set up the target action method and I think I just have to tell the tableView which method to use. I believe -(void)setDoubleAction sel)aSelector is the way to go, but I can't figure out how to pass in the name of the method. I tried:

[myTableView setDoubleAction:myTargetMethod];

where myTargetMethod is just the name of the method:

-(IBAction)myTargetMethod id)sender

This gives me a type mismatch. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

thanks,
kman

the syntax for passing a selector is:

@selector(yourselectorname:)

so I think it should be, in your case,

[myTableView setDoubleAction:@selector(myTargetMethod : )];


Another option would be to subclass a table view, and let the datasource take care of the double clicking e.g.

// MyListTableView.h
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
@interface MyListTableView : NSTableView {
}
- (void) mouseDown: (NSEvent *) theEvent;
@end

---

// MyListTableView.m
#import "MyListTableView.h"
@implementation MyListTableView
- (void) mouseDown: (NSEvent *) theEvent{
id theDataSource;
if ([theEvent clickCount]==2) {
theDataSource = [self dataSource];
[theDataSource myListTableViewDoubleClicked: self];
}
[super mouseDown:theEvent];
}
@end

Thanks. Actually, my cells aren't as uneditable as I thought. How do I go about setting them as uneditable?

To make a column, er, more non-editable, double click on the column header in Interface Builder, then go to the 'Attributes' tab in the info window, and uncheck 'Editable'. You'll need to do so for each of your columns.
