I have an NSTableView, and I would like to know when the user has scrolled to the bottom, so I can perform an action. Not quite sure how to go about this?
UPDATE:
Here is how I am calculating the bottom of the table:
-(void)tableViewDidScroll:(CPNotification) notification
{
var scrollView = [notification object];
var currentPosition = CGRectGetMaxY([scrollView visibleRect]);
var tableViewHeight = [messagesTableView bounds].size.height - 100;
//console.log("TableView Height: " + tableViewHeight);
//console.log("Current Position: " + currentPosition);
if (currentPosition > tableViewHeight - 100)
{
console.log("we're at the bottom!");
}
}
You can add yourself as an observer (in the NSNotificationCenter sense, not the KVO/Bindings sense) of NSViewBoundsDidChangeNotification from the table's -enclosingScrollView's -contentView and react as necessary based on the visible rectangle.
Update
Do this somewhere (maybe -awakeFromNib):
// Configure the scroll view to send frame change notifications
id clipView = [[tableView enclosingScrollView] contentView];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(myBoundsChangeNotificationHandler:)
name:NSViewBoundsDidChangeNotification
object:clipView];
Put this somewhere useful:
- (void)myBoundsChangeNotificationHandler:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
if ([aNotification object] == [[tableView enclosingScrollView] contentView])
[self doSomethingInterestingIfDocumentVisibleRectSatisfiesMe];
}
Essentially you want to examine the scroll view's -documentVisibleRect
to see if maybe the bottom couple of pixels are visible. Remember to account for the possibility of views with flipped coordinate systems - "flipped views" - covered in the Views Programming Guide.
Regarding your update:
for some reasons i have
var currentPosition = CGRectGetMaxY([scrollView visibleRect]);
always the same value, i've found better to use NSClipView bounds:
NSClipView *clipView = ...;
NSRect newClipBounds = [clipView bounds];
CGFloat currentPosition = newClipBounds.origin.y + newClipBounds.size.height;
