Re: NSTableView progress

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Andreas,

could you actually explain why this selection of the row changes the
tabbing behaviour? Is teh important thing to stop the current editing
process? Would the following code at the beginning of the method do the
trich as well?
  if (_textObject != nil)
    {
      [self validateEditing];
      [self abortEditing];
    }

Or is it important that the current row gets selected? Or is it your own
delegate that wont allow a cell from a non-selected row to be selected?
I just want to understand why this resolves the problem to be able to
add a similar chang to the _editPrevious... method as well.

Cheers
Fred
