I have this line "func tableView(_ tableView: NSTableView, didClick tableColumn: NSTableColumn) {code here}"

This function does not do anything. I want to click a row in a table view and do some action when clicked it. But it does not do anything. The row is showed correctly, but action is missing. I added also "print("Clicked") in that function, but even that does not show on log information"

How else could I make this working?

From the documentation of tableView(_:didClick:): "Tells the delegate that the mouse button was clicked in the specified table column, but the column was not dragged.". This method isn't called when you click in a row. If you want to catch clicks in a tableview, subclass the table view, row view or cell view and override mouseDown(with:). Another solution: let the table view handle the click and use the selected row. The delegate has several methods to detect changes in the selection.

Use NSTableView.selectionDidChangeNotification to detect selection

 override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.didSelectRow(_:)), name: NSTableView.selectionDidChangeNotification, object: tableView)
    }



    @objc
    func didSelectRow(_ noti: Notification){
        guard let table = noti.object as? NSTableView else {
            return
        }
        let row = table.selectedRow
        print(row)
    }


    deinit {
        NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
    }

After test, i found it was triggered by click at column area. As its parameter says, "Did click table column", not table row.
