Adding a field to a NSTableCellView

Question

I added an extra new label to a NSTableCellView in IB.

How can I wire up this new field, that I can access it like the builtin field "textfield" in tableView.make( withIdentifier ..

let cell = tableView.make(withIdentifier: "myCell", owner: self) as! NSTableCellView
cell.textField?.stringValue = data[row].firstName
cell.XXX?.stringValue = data[row].lastName

Second issue: I changed the height of the TableCellView in IB to 60 in the size inspector. The height changes in IB but not in the compiled program.

You have also to set the height in the Size Inspector of the table view. — vadian
@vadian Tnx!, works fine. What, if I have two TableCellView types with a different height? — mica
Then you need to implement the delegate method tableView(tableView:heightOfRow: — vadian

I solved one part of the question myself. For wiring up the new field, I created a subclass of NSTableCellView which I assigned to the TableCellView in the identity inspector.

To this class I could crtl-drag and create an outlet which I could use like this:

let cell = tableView.make(withIdentifier: "ItemCell", owner: self) as! ItemTableCellView
cell.textField?.stringValue = data[row].firstName
cell.outletForNewField.stringValue = data[row].lastName

The remainig problem is the size of the tableCellView
