    <p>So if I have an NSView based tableview and inside the views are NSTextViews which are non-editable but selectable...</p> <p>how can I get that nice functionality of command-A selects all the text? I don't mean row selection. I have row selection disabled for the tableview. I mean highlighting the text in blue so you can copy it to your clipboard. But not just 1 NSTextView's text from one row, all of them from all the rows.</p> <p>And in addition to command-A click and drag should do this too. But out of the box it seems I can only select one row's text. Here is video showing problem:</p> <p><a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2510380/table.mov" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2510380/table.mov</a> (i keep clicking and dragging but can't highlight text on the next row)</p> <p>here are two mac apps (skype and gabble) that do this:</p> <p><a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2510380/skype.mov" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2510380/skype.mov</a></p> <p>and</p> <p><a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2510380/gabble.mov" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2510380/gabble.mov</a></p> <p>Assuming they are NOT using WebViews with just HTML inside, how do you get this control over the clipboard? i.e. in Skype you select the text and only the conversation is highlighted, not the timestamp of each message. Also the text copied to the clipboard is formatted very nicely. Can you point me in the right direction to reverse engineer skype?</p>

    2. COI wasn't sure if I should delete it or not? I re-wrote this question new since I'm now convinced I should use a tableview. So yes, it's still a valid question in the sense that if a scrollview with views added as subviews is a better way to go, then I still have the same issue with the selecting of text.

    3. COI am upvoting and following both questions, so that I keep a tab on this question. Hopefully get some time tomorrow to try it out myself.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
