NSTableView Row Height based on NSStrings

Question

Basically, I have an NSTableView with 1 collumn, and I\'m inserting long strings into each row. However, not all the strings are long, so I\'d like the height of each row to

Answer 1

Here is another solution, which works well in my case:

Objective-C:

- (double)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView heightOfRow:(long)row
{
    if (tableView == self.tableViewTodo)
    {
        CKRecord *record = [self.arrayTodoItemsFiltered objectAtIndex:row];
        NSString *text = record[@"title"];

        double someWidth = self.tableViewTodo.frame.size.width;
        NSFont *font = [NSFont fontWithName:@"Palatino-Roman" size:13.0];
        NSDictionary *attrsDictionary =
        [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:font
                                    forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
        NSAttributedString *attrString =
        [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:text
                                        attributes:attrsDictionary];

        NSRect frame = NSMakeRect(0, 0, someWidth, MAXFLOAT);
        NSTextView *tv = [[NSTextView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
        [[tv textStorage] setAttributedString:attrString];
        [tv setHorizontallyResizable:NO];
        [tv sizeToFit];

        double height = tv.frame.size.height + 20;

        return height;
    }

    else
    {
        return 18;
    }
}

Swift:

func tableView(tableView: NSTableView, heightOfRow row: Int) -> CGFloat {
    if let log:Log = logsArrayController.arrangedObjects.objectAtIndex(row) as? Log {
        if let string: String = log.message! {

            let someWidth: CGFloat = tableView.frame.size.width
            let stringAttributes = [NSFontAttributeName: NSFont.systemFontOfSize(12)] //change to font/size u are using
            let attrString: NSAttributedString = NSAttributedString(string: string, attributes: stringAttributes)
            let frame: NSRect = NSMakeRect(0, 0, someWidth, CGFloat.max)
            let tv: NSTextView = NSTextView(frame: frame)
            tv.textStorage?.setAttributedString(attrString)
            tv.horizontallyResizable = false
            tv.sizeToFit()
            let height: CGFloat = tv.frame.size.height + 20 // + other objects...

            return height

        }

    }

    return 100 //Fail
}
