Question

I would like to implement similar to iCal implementation. I want to highlight and edit the row at the same time. I have used cellBased tableview. I tried the following things.

 [self.tableView editColumn:0 row:[self.array count]-1 withEvent:nil select:YES];
 NSIndexSet *indexSet = [NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:[self.array count]-1 ];
 [self.tableView selectRowIndexes:indexSet byExtendingSelection:YES];

But above code highlights all the rows but not the current row. I want to highlight the current row and want to edit the same. Any hints to accomplish this?

I would like to implement some thing similar to Mail. When clicked on item,the row should get highlighted and the textField should get highlighted. I don’t need an icon on the left side.

Customized the TableViewCell and implemented the drawWithFrame.

-(void)drawWithFrame:(NSRect)cellFrame inView:(NSView*)controlView
{
    NSRect newFrame = cellFrame;
    newFrame.origin.x += 50;
    newFrame.origin.y += 2;
    newFrame.size.height -=4;
    [super drawWithFrame:newFrame inView:controlView];
}
