OK, I am trying to get some code to get something other than a NSTextFieldCell as the data cell of a table column. According to the O'Reilly book (I know.. I know..) It says you can easily change it using setDataCell. So I figured [myColumn setDataCell:[NSButtonCell alloc]]; But further than that I'm not sure.. I've tried some things.. but I dunno. I think seb made a post about this a while ago.. but I just can't find it I also need to figure out how to get a NSProgressIndicator as the data cell of a column.. but I figured a check box in a table column would be a good start as I don't see a NSProgressIndicatorCell.. Thanks

Simple. Do something like this to have a check box cell:
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">NSButtonCell *prototypeCell = [[[NSButtonCell alloc] initTextCell: @&quot;&quot;] autorelease];
[prototypeCell setButtonType:NSSwitchButton];
[prototypeCell setImagePosition:NSImageOnly];
[myColumn setDataCell: prototypeCell];</pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">

Oh, and by the way, you cannot set a progress indicator to be the data cell of a column. NSButton inherits from NSControl, which means it has to have a corresponding cell, while NSProgressIndicator inherits directly from NSView. So...the only way to set a progress indicator as a table column cell is to create your own--there are a few open-source applications which use this.
