NSTableView selectable but not editable

Trying to get an NSTableView in IB to be selectable but not editable. But de-selecting "Editable" for a column also removes the selecting capability.

Can someone tell me where I should insert this code to make it work (not working in app delegate or window controller) :

NSTextFieldCell *aCell = [tableColumn dataCell];
[aCell setEditable: NO];
[aCell setSelectable: YES];

BTW that table is updated by dictionary bindings, and the dictionary controller is set to not editable.

Solution

  • Set the columns to Editable, but the individual cell behaviour to Selectable.
