need to not shift row in outline view
-
Hello,
I am using an NSOutlineView and don't want the content shifted for the
second (and last) level (I am trying to emulate iChat's group
interface). Is there a function to call or override so that drawing
occurs in the whole area of the cell? setIndentationPerLevel: gets the
desired behavior for the last level, but then the top is shifted too
much to the left. Any ideas?
Cheers,

Take a look at NSOutlineView's delegate methods ...
-outlineView:isGroupItem: lets you designate an item as ... well ... a
group. I'm not sure what you mean by "second (and last) level" and I
don't use iChat, so ou may have to be more specific there.

I am already using group rows. What I mean is I have two levels, for a single folder and its contents. No nested folders, etc. What I want is to have the "content rows" take up the whole row of the table. I hope that makes more sense. -

A little more, but I may not be visualizing what you're talking
about. Folders are always top-level and the only children are
"contents" of the folders, right? Your folders are "group" rows but
you want the children (the "content") rows to not indent? Do I have
this right?

I think he wants to not have the item rows indented. For this there
are methods such as setIndentationPerLevel: and related.

Yup, sounds right. Basically, I want a way to allow outline rows to take up the whole row for select rows.

You could always subclass NSOutlineView and override
-drawRow:clipRect: (which belongs to NSTableView, of which
NSOutlineView is a subclass).

Ah - I think you're right. :-D

I was able to get the behavior I wanted by returning a resized rect
with frameOfCellAtColumn:row:
