Re: Starting editing a Row as soon as it is Added.

Ok, So do I need to retrieve all the objects in the Outline View to put in the NSArray?

And what is the Object p then if it's not an element in the array?


Josh.

And what makes you think that the index of the object in the selected nodes has anything to do with the row index in the outlineview? Moreover, why do you even think that the object p is an element of the array a (hint: it's not).
