Monkeybread Xojo plugin - NSTableViewMBS methods

NSTableViewMBS.setDropRow(row as Integer, dropOperation as Integer)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa Controls	MBS MacControls Plugin	17.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Retargets the proposed drop operation.

row: The target row index.
dropOperation: The drop operation. Supported values are specified by NSTableViewDropOperation.

For example, to specify a drop on the second row, specify row as 1, and operation as NSTableViewDropOn. To specify a drop below the last row, specify row as [self numberOfRows] and operation as NSTableViewDropAbove.
Passing a value of –1 for row and NSTableViewDropOn as the operation causes the entire table view to be highlighted rather than a specific row. This is useful if the data displayed by the table view does not allow the user to drop items at a specific row location.

NSTableViewMBS.setSortDescriptor(sortDescriptor as NSSortDescriptorMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa Controls	MBS MacControls Plugin	14.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Sets the receiver's sort descriptors.

A table column is considered sortable if it has a sort descriptor that specifies the sorting direction, a key to sort by, and a selector defining how to sort.

The array of sort descriptors is archived. Sort descriptors persist along with other column information if an autosave name is set.

Calling setSortDescriptors may have the side effect of invoking the data source method tableViewSortDescriptorsDidChange.

NSTableViewMBS.setSortDescriptors(sortDescriptors() as NSSortDescriptorMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets

Sets the receiver's sort descriptors.

NSTableViewMBS.sizeLastColumnToFit

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa Controls	MBS MacControls Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Resizes the last column if there's room so the receiver fits exactly within its enclosing clip view.

NSTableViewMBS.sizeToFit

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa Controls	MBS MacControls Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Changes the width of columns in the receiver so all columns are visible.

All columns are resized to the same size, up to a column's maximum size. This method then invokes tile.

NSTableViewMBS.sortDescriptors as NSSortDescriptorMBS()

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa Controls	MBS MacControls Plugin	14.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Returns the receiver’s sort descriptors.

NSTableViewMBS.tableColumns as NSTableColumnMBS()

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa Controls	MBS MacControls Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Returns an array containing the the NSTableColumn objects in the receiver.

The array returned by tableColumns contains all receiver's columns, including those that are hidden.

Some examples using this method:

NSTableViewMBS.tableColumnWithIdentifier(identifier as string) as NSTableColumnMBS

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa Controls	MBS MacControls Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Returns the NSTableColumn object for the first column whose identifier is equal to a given object.

Returns the NSTableColumn object for the first column whose identifier is equal to anObject, as compared using isEqual:, or nil if no columns are found with the specified identifier.

NSTableViewMBS.tile

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa Controls	MBS MacControls Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Properly sizes the receiver and its header view and marks it as needing display.

Also resets cursor rectangles for the header view and line scroll amounts for the NSScrollView object.

NSTableViewMBS.unhideRowsAtIndexes(indexes as NSIndexSetMBS, animationOptions as Integer)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa Controls	MBS MacControls Plugin	17.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Unhides the specified table rows.

indexes: An index set containing indexes of the hidden rows to be shown again.
rowAnimation: An animation effect to be applied when the rows are hidden.

Unhiding a table row causes the didAddRowView event to be invoked.

NSTableViewMBS.viewAtColumn(column as Integer, row as Integer, makeIfNecessary as Boolean) as NSViewMBS

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa Controls	MBS MacControls Plugin	17.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Returns a view at the specified row and column indexes, creating one if necessary.

column: The index of the column in the tableColumns array.
row: The row index.
makeIfNecessary: true if a view is required, false if you want to update properties on a view, if one is available.

Returns an instance of NSView.

This method first attempts to return an available view, which is generally in the visible area. If there is no available view, and makeIfNecessary is true, a prepared temporary view is returned. If makeIfNecessary is false, and the view is not available, nil will be returned.
In general, makeIfNecessary should be true if you require a resulting view, and false if you only want to update properties on a view only if it is available (generally this means it is visible).
An exception will be thrown if row is not within the numberOfRows. The returned result should generally not be held onto for longer than the current run loop cycle. Instead they should re-query the table view for the row view.
