Re: When is editWithFrame:... used?

 is never called anywhere in the sample code. The sample code also does not=
 say what one should do to have it called, so it most definitely does not q=
ualify as "show in use".

The NSTableView documentation for -editColumn:row:withEvent:select:
contains an error; it should say "This method [=85] sends
editWithFrame:inView:editor:delegate:event: or, if select is YES,
selectWithFrame:inView:editor:delegate:start:length: to the field
editor=92s NSCell object with the NSTableView as the text delegate."

The only case I've found so far that calls -editWithFrame:=85 is
NSMatrix. Stick a couple of NSTextFieldCells in an NSMatrix and click
around, and you'll break on -[NSCell editWithFrame:=85]. You'll also
probably break on -selectWithFrame:=85 at least once, so I don't know
what logic NSMatrix is using.

NSCell's implementation is actually the same for both -editWithFrame:=85
and -selectWithFrame:=85. NSTextFieldCell does not override either of
these methods, so the behavior is the exact same.

I don't know if having two methods is useful anymore, or indeed if it ever =
was.
