Using an NSButtonCell with template image in a NSTableView
- by alloy
In Interface Builder, I have set the dataCell of one of the columns of my NSTableView instance to be NSButtonCell. This works as expected, however, trying to use a ‘template’ image doesn't yield the expected visual result when clicking the button.
How I configure the NSButtonCell:
Image: NSRevealFreestandingTemplate
Scaling: None
Bezel: Bevel
Type: Momentary Push In
Bordered: false
Expected result when clicking the button:
Since the image is a ‘template’, the button should render its ‘on’ state.
The background, ie the space surrounding the image, should not change.
Actual result when clicking the button:
No difference in the ‘state’ of the rendered image.
The background color changes to white.
Even-though I’ve tried my best to make the explanation of the problem as concise as possible, I’ve also made a simple screencast to visually illustrate the problem. And uploaded the demo app.
