I'm a bit stuck, again . . .
I have an NSTableView with some custom NSTableCellView, one of which contains a couple of NSTextFields.
Now, i would like to modify the values being displayed in some of the fields, so have created overwritten the create cell function as follows:
- (NSView *)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView viewForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(NSInteger)row {
// Get a new ViewCell
NSTableCellView *cellView = [tableView makeViewWithIdentifier:tableColumn.identifier owner:self];
I am then using the following code to target specific columns:
if ([tableColumn.identifier isEqualToString:@"Tweets"]){
NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
//Set predicate and filter for New tweets page
if ([self.currentTwitterView isEqualToString:@"new"]) {
NSPredicate *testForTrue = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(approved == NO) AND (tweetDeleted == NO) AND (scheduledTweet == NO)"];
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor1 = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"postDate" ascending:NO];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:sortDescriptor1, nil];
[request setPredicate:testForTrue];
[request setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
//Set filter and predicate for the Approved tweets page
} else if ([self.currentTwitterView isEqualToString:@"approved"]){
NSPredicate *testForTrue = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(approved == YES) AND (tweetDeleted == NO) AND (scheduledTweet == NO)"];
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor1 = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"approvedDate" ascending:NO];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:sortDescriptor1, nil];
[request setPredicate:testForTrue];
[request setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
//Set filter and preicate for the Deleted tweets page
} else if ([self.currentTwitterView isEqualToString:@"deleted"]){
NSPredicate *testForTrue = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"tweetDeleted == YES"];
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor1 = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"deletedDate" ascending:NO];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:sortDescriptor1, nil];
[request setPredicate:testForTrue];
[request setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
//Set filter and preicate for the Deleted tweets page
} else if ([self.currentTwitterView isEqualToString:@"scheduled"]){
NSPredicate *testForTrue = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"scheduledTweet == YES"];
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor1 = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"scheduledDate" ascending:NO];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:sortDescriptor1, nil];
[request setPredicate:testForTrue];
[request setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
}
//Setup the Request
[request setEntity:[NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Tweet" inManagedObjectContext:_managedObjectContext]];
//Assign the predicate to the fetch request
NSError *error = nil;
//Create an array from the returned objects
NSArray *fetchedObjects = [_managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];
Tweet *selectedTweet = [fetchedObjects objectAtIndex:row];
[cellView.textField setStringValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Access granted for %@", selectedTweet.scheduledDate]];
return cellView;
However, i can't for the life of me work out how to target each specific TextField in the cell, if i create an IBOutlet then i get an error about there being multiple (which makes sense) but if i don't do that, then there is no way to access it that i can see.
I have looked at the apple class docs, and it doesn't really elaborate either.
Help greatly appreciated!
Cheers
