[QUOTE="tmeehan, post: 821251, member: 92859"] This seems like it should be simple but for some reason I can not get it to work. I've tried a million different things with no success. All I want to do is set the color of the text in a NSPopUpButtonCell. One of my columns in an a subclass of NSTableView contains popup menus. Everything is working great so I move on to the last issue (I hope). I need to be able to set the color of the menu items based on certain criteria. But before I got to that I just tried to change the color from black to anything else. It just doesn't work. Below is the relevant code from my project. I don't usually post this much code but this is killing me and I was hoping someone might be able to spot something I am doing wrong and set me straight. Thanks in advance for any help. Basically, I just have subclasses of NSTableView, NSPopupButtonCell and NSTableColumn. I've stripped out all the junk not relevent to this problem. ********************* NSTableView Subclass **************************** @interface ListBoxControl : NSTableView { MyDataSource *TheDataSource; myButtonCellClass *pcell; } - (void)awakeFromNib; -(MyDataSource*) getDataSource; -(myNSCell*) getCustomPCell; @end @implementation ListBoxControl - (void)awakeFromNib; { NSAttributedString *redString; NSMenu *colorMenu; NSMenuItem *theRedItem; NSMutableDictionary *red_attrs; TheDataSource = [[MyDataSource alloc] init]; [TheDataSource retain]; [TheDataSource initData]; [TheDataSource setHostView:self]; [self setDataSource:TheDataSource]; red_attrs = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:2]; [red_attrs setValue:[NSColor redColor] forKey:@"NSForegroundColorAttributeName"]; [red_attrs setValue:[NSColor redColor] forKey:@"NSStrokeColorAttributeName"]; redString = [[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Red" attributes:red_attrs] retain]; colorMenu = [[NSMenu alloc] initWithTitle:@"COLORMENU"]; theRedItem = [[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title1" action:NULL keyEquivalent:@""]; [theRedItem setAttributedTitle:redString]; [colorMenu addItem: theRedItem]; pcell = [[[myButtonCellClass alloc] initTextCell:@"" pullsDown:false] retain]; [pcell setEditable:NO]; [pcell setBordered:NO]; [pcell setMenu:colorMenu]; } -(myNSCell*) getCustomPCell { return pcell; } -(MyDataSource*) getDataSource { return TheDataSource; } @end ********************* NSPopUpButtonCell Subclass **************************** @interface myButtonCellClass : NSPopUpButtonCell { } @end @implementation myButtonCellClass @end ********************* NSTableColumn Subclass **************************** @interface customColumn : NSTableColumn { } - (id)dataCellForRow:(NSInteger)row; @end @implementation customColumn - (id)dataCellForRow:(NSInteger)row { return [[self tableView] getCustomPCell]; } @end [/QUOTE]
