[Pyobjc-dev] Customizing trouble with NSCell & NSTableView

[Dinu G. <gh...@da...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use NSTableView delegate method for changing the
background of individual cells. The method name is this one:

   tableView_willDisplayCell_forTableColumn_row_(self,
     view, cell, col, row)

But I always seem to receive a None value for the row argument
and even if the method returns and does nothing else my app
just crashes with a "signal 10 (SIGBUS)".

This book actually says, cells in default columns taken from IB
could not change their background color, and you had to replace
them in IB with new ones (p. 687), which I did, but without any
effect):

Has anybody else had success using this method? The ObjC sample
provided in the book on p. 681, TableRowFormatting2, which is
also available here (chap. 18) works fine:

Might also be of interest for David Eppstein's Tabulizer code... ;-)

Regards,
