View-based NSOutlineView without NIB?

Question

NSOutlineView is a subclass of NSTableView. And currently, NSTableView supports two implementations.

• Cell-based.

Here's @jeberle's code re-written in Swift 4 (five years later!):

class ProgrammaticTableCellView: NSTableCellView {
    override init(frame frameRect: NSRect) {
        super.init(frame: frameRect)

        self.autoresizingMask = .width
        let iv: NSImageView = NSImageView(frame: NSMakeRect(0, 6, 16, 16))
        let tf: NSTextField = NSTextField(frame: NSMakeRect(21, 6, 200, 14))
        let btn: NSButton = NSButton(frame: NSMakeRect(0, 3, 16, 16))
        iv.imageScaling = .scaleProportionallyUpOrDown
        iv.imageAlignment = .alignCenter
        tf.isBordered = false
        tf.drawsBackground = false
        btn.cell?.controlSize = .small
        // btn.bezelStyle = .inline                  // Deprecated?
        btn.cell?.isBezeled = true                   // Closest property I can find.
        // btn.cell?.setButtonType(.momentaryPushIn) // Deprecated?
        btn.setButtonType(.momentaryPushIn)
        btn.cell?.font = NSFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 10)
        btn.cell?.alignment = .center

        self.imageView = iv
        self.textField = tf
        self.addSubview(iv)
        self.addSubview(tf)
        self.addSubview(btn)
    }

    required init?(coder decoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

    var button: NSButton {
        get {
            return self.subviews[2] as! NSButton
        }
    }
}

Edit: I found a link (that will inevitably rot away – it was last revised in 2011) to Apple's SidebarDemo that @jeberle based his code on.
