Question

I’m working through Cocoa Programming, in chapter 8 it says “Use the Attributes Inspector to make sure that the table view’s Content Mode is set to Cell Based” – although there doesn’t appear to be any option to do that. I continued with the chapter but when I run the application at the end I can’t add things to the table view. I think the cell based option may be the culprit. Any ideas of how I can fix this?

Answer 1

I think the problem is that You are selecting NSScollView and not NSTableView because if You put NSTableView in Your code from IB You have NSTableView embed in a NSScrollView. So if You want to select NSTableView You need to push slowly to times on Your TableView in Interface Builder or You can select it like this:

And than go to Attributes inspector:
