How to get selected item of NSOutlineView without using NSTreeController?
How do I get the selected item of an NSOutlineView with using my own data source. I see I can get selectedRow but it returns a row ID relative to the state of the outline. The only way to do it is to track the expanded collapsed state of the items, but that seems ridiculous.
I was hoping for something like:
array = [outlineViewOutlet selectedItems];
I looked at the other similar questions, they dont seem to answer the question.
Answer
NSOutlineView inherits from NSTableView, so you get nice methods such as selectedRow:
id selectedItem = [outlineView itemAtRow:[outlineView selectedRow]];
