macOS NSTableView Tutorial

You grab or make a NSSearchField and place it where you want in the UI. Use NSSearchFieldDelegate methods to filter your dataset.

Personally I wouldnt place one at the top of the table in iOS style because its not a mobile device. I might place it at top right ( for Right To Left locales ) or within the window toolbar (like Finder) but it really depends what else you have within the window.

I’ve tried a ton of things already but it seems to be impossible to change the text color of a highlighted NSTableCellView. There’s a few suggestions on the internet but none of them actually works. Anyway, thanks for looking into this.

This tutorial is more than six months old so questions are no longer supported at the moment for it. We will update it as soon as possible. Thank you! :]
