Re: Refreshing of NSTableView with Snow Leopard - solved

Thanks to Markus and Kyle for your help.

I have solved the issue but I'm still a bit perplexed...

Firstly I have to state that I was using the NSArrayController to handle the sorting for me, based on what the user selected. Here was the code I used to set the sorting (I should have included this in my original post):

	NSSortDescriptor* sortBySongPosition;
	sortBySongPosition = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"songPosition" ascending:YES];
	[arrSongSetEntryController setSortDescriptors: [NSArray arrayWithObject: sortBySongPosition]];

Now as I have stated, this works on all versions prior to Snow Leopard, but with Snow Leopard there was no change in the rendering of the NSTableView. However, when I modified the code to be:

	NSSortDescriptor* sortBySongPosition;
	sortBySongPosition = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"songPosition" ascending:YES];
	// I added this line:
	[arrSongSetEntryController setSortDescriptors: nil];
	[arrSongSetEntryController setSortDescriptors: [NSArray arrayWithObject: sortBySongPosition]];

It worked. 

Hope this helps someone...

Thanks,
Trent.
