NSTableview Change the highlight colour

Question

I am developing a MAC application and included the tableView. Want to change the Colour of selected row to yellow.

Answer 1

Set this on your table view:

[yourtableview setSelectionHighlightStyle:NSTableViewSelectionHighlightStyleNone];

And implement the following delegate method of NSTableView as:

- (void)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView willDisplayCell:(id)aCell forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn row:(NSInteger)rowIndex
{
    if ([[aTableView selectedRowIndexes] containsIndex:rowIndex]) 
    {
       [aCell setBackgroundColor: [NSColor yellowColor]];   
    } 
    else 
    {
       [aCell setBackgroundColor: [NSColor whiteColor]];
    } 
    [aCell setDrawsBackground:YES];
}  

Answer 2

If you want to heighlight only individual cell of column then implement like this below:-

- (void)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView
  willDisplayCell:(id)cell
   forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn
              row:(NSInteger)row
{
    if ([[tableColumn identifier] isEqualToString:@"yourColumm"])
    {
        [cell setBackgroundColor:[NSColor yelloColor]];
    }
}
