Back to NSCellMBS class.

NSCellMBS.acceptsFirstResponder as boolean

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the receiver accepts first responder status.

The default value is true if the receiver is enabled. Subclasses may override this method to return a different value.

NSCellMBS.calcDrawInfo(theRect as NSRectMBS)

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Recalculates the cell geometry.

Objects (such as controls) that manage NSCell objects generally maintain a flag that informs them if any of their cells have been modified in such a way that the location or size of the cell should be recomputed. If so, calcSize method of NSControl is automatically invoked prior to the display of the cell, and that method invokes the calcDrawInfo method of the cell.
The default implementation of this method does nothing.

NSCellMBS.cellAttribute(aParameter as Integer) as Integer

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
property Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
The value for the specified cell attribute.

aParameter: The cell attribute whose value you want to get. Attributes include the receiver's current state and whether it is disabled, editable, or highlighted.

Returns the value for the cell attribute specified by aParameter.
(Read and Write computed property)

NSCellMBS.cellSize as NSSizeMBS

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Returns the minimum size needed to display the receiver.

Returns the size of the cell, or the size (10000, 10000) if the receiver is not a text or image cell. If the cell is an image cell but no image has been set, returns NSZeroSize.
This method takes into account of the size of the image or text within a certain offset determined by the border type of the cell.

NSCellMBS.cellSizeForBounds(theRect as NSRectMBS) as NSSizeMBS

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Returns the minimum size needed to display the receiver, constraining it to the specified rectangle.

aRect: The size of the cell, or the size of the aRect parameter if the cell is not a text or image cell. If the cell is an image cell but no image has been set, returns an empty size.

This method takes into account of the size of the image or text within a certain offset determined by the border type of the cell. If the receiver is of text type, the text is resized to fit within aRect (as much as aRect is within the bounds of the cell).

NSCellMBS.compare(otherCell as NSCellMBS) as Integer

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Compares the string values of the receiver another cell, disregarding case.

otherCell: The cell to compare against the receiver. This parameter must be of type NSCell; if it is not, this method raises NSBadComparisonException.

This value must not be nil. If the value is nil, the behavior is undefined and may change in future versions of Mac OS X.

Returns NSOrderedAscending if the string value of the receiver precedes the string value of otherCell in lexical ordering, NSOrderedSame if the string values are equivalent in lexical value, and NSOrderedDescending string value of the receiver follows the string value of otherCell in lexical ordering.

NSCellMBS.Constructor(image as NSImageMBS)

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 10.0 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Creates a new Cell object with an image.
Example
dim pic as Picture = LogoMBS(500)
dim n as NSImageMBS = new NSImageMBS(pic)
dim c as new NSCellMBS(n)

Backdrop = c.image.CopyPictureWithMask
Title = c.classPath

NSCellMBS.drawingRectForBounds(theRect as NSRectMBS) as NSRectMBS

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Returns the rectangle within which the receiver draws itself.

theRect: The bounding rectangle of the receiver.
Returns the rectangle in which the receiver draws itself. This rectangle is slightly inset from the one in theRect.

NSCellMBS.focusRingType as Integer

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
property Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
The type of focus ring currently set for the receiver.

You can disable a view's focus ring drawing by overriding this method so it always returns NSFocusRingTypeNone, or by calling setFocusRingType: with NSFocusRingTypeNone. You should only disable a view from drawing its focus ring if you want to draw your own focus ring, or if there isn't sufficient space to display a focus ring in the default location.
Available in Mac OS X v10.3 and later.
(Read and Write computed property)

NSCellMBS.highlightColorWithFrame(theRect as NSRectMBS, controlView as NSViewMBS) as NSColorMBS

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Redraws the receiver with the specified highlight setting.

theRect: The bounding rectangle of the receiver.
controlView: The control that manages the cell.

Returns the color the receiver uses when drawing the selection highlight.
You should not assume that a cell would necessarily want to draw itself with the value returned from selectedControlColor. A cell may wish to draw with different a selection highlight color depending on such things as the key state of its controlView.

NSCellMBS.imageRectForBounds(theRect as NSRectMBS) as NSRectMBS

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Returns the rectangle in which the receiver draws its image.

theRect: The bounding rectangle of the receiver.

The rectangle in which the receiver draws its image. This rectangle is slightly offset from the one in theRect.

NSCellMBS.isEntryAcceptable(aString as string) as boolean

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Returns whether a string representing a numeric or date value is formatted in a suitable way for the cell's entry type.

This method is being deprecated in favor of a new class of formatter objects. For more information, see NSFormatter. This documentation is provided only for developers who need to modify older applications

NSCellMBS.mnemonic as string

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Returns the character in the receiver's title that appears underlined for use as a mnemonic.

A string containing the mnemonic character, or an empty string if no mnemonic character is set.

NSCellMBS.nextState as Integer

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
The receiver's next state.

If the receiver has three states, it cycles through them in this order: on, off, mixed, on, and so forth. If the receiver has two states, it toggles between them.

NSCellMBS.performClick

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Simulates a single mouse click on the receiver.

This method performs the receiver's action on its target. The receiver must be enabled to perform the action. If the receiver's control view is valid, that view is used as the sender; otherwise, the value in sender is used.

The receiver of this message must be a cell of type NSActionCell. This method raises an exception if the action message cannot be successfully sent.

NSCellMBS.sendActionOn(mask as Integer) as Integer

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Sets the conditions on which the receiver sends action messages to its target.

mask: A bit mask containing the conditions for sending the action. The only conditions that are actually checked are associated with the NSLeftMouseDownMask, NSLeftMouseUpMask, NSLeftMouseDraggedMask, and NSPeriodicMask bits.

Returns a bit mask containing the previous settings. This bit mask uses the same values as specified in the mask parameter.

You use this method during mouse tracking when the mouse button changes state, the mouse moves, or if the cell is marked to send its action continuously while tracking. Because of this, the only bits checked in mask are NSLeftMouseDownMask, NSLeftMouseUpMask, NSLeftMouseDraggedMask, and NSPeriodicMask, which are declared in the NSEvent class reference.

You can use the setContinuous method to turn on the flag corresponding to NSPeriodicMask or NSLeftMouseDraggedMask, whichever is appropriate to the given subclass of NSCell.

NSCellMBS.setNextState

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Changes the state of the receiver to its next state.

If the receiver has three states, it cycles through them in this order: on, off, mixed, on, and so forth. If the receiver has two states, it toggles between them.

NSCellMBS.setTitleWithMnemonic(stringWithAmpersand as string)

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Sets the title of the receiver with one character in the string denoted as an access key.

stringWithAmpersand: The new title of the cell. One character in the string should be preceded by an ampersand (&) character. The character that follows becomes the mnemonic character for the title.
Mnemonics are not supported in Mac OS X.

NSCellMBS.titleRectForBounds(theRect as NSRectMBS) as NSRectMBS

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Returns the rectangle in which the receiver draws its title text.

If the receiver is a text-type cell, this method resizes the drawing rectangle for the title (theRect) inward by a small offset to accommodate the cell border. If the receiver is not a text-type cell, the method does nothing.

NSCellMBS.wantsNotificationForMarkedText as boolean

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 9.6 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the field editor initiated by the receiver should post text change notifications.

Returns true if the field editor initiated by the receiver should post text change notifications (NSTextDidChangeNotification) while editing marked text; otherwise, they are delayed until the marked text confirmation.
