Answer 1

If you prefer, you can attach the menu to the individual cell view or row view and build it with interface builder:

@implementation BSMotleyOutlineView

-(NSMenu *)menuForEvent:(NSEvent *)event
{
    NSPoint pt = [self convertPoint:[event locationInWindow] fromView:nil];
    NSInteger row = [self rowAtPoint:pt];
    if (row >= 0) {
        NSTableRowView* rowView = [self rowViewAtRow:row makeIfNecessary:NO];
        if (rowView) {
            NSInteger col = [self columnAtPoint:pt];
            if (col >= 0) {
                NSTableCellView* cellView = [rowView viewAtColumn:col];
                NSMenu* cellMenu = cellView.menu;
                if(cellMenu) {
                    return cellMenu;
                }
            }
            NSMenu* rowMenu = rowView.menu;
            if (rowMenu) {
                return rowMenu;
            }
        }
    }
    return [super menuForEvent:event];
}
@end
