How can you get indexes of visible rows for an NSO

Question

How can you get a indexes of visible rows for an NSOutlineView? I need to know which level and which rows are visible.

[EDIT] What I'm actually looking for is an NSOutlineView equivalent to CocoaTouch/UITableView - (NSArray *)indexPathsForVisibleRows

Answer 1

I changed my datasource to return an NSIndexPath for outlineView:child:ofItem:. This way I could use [outlineview rowAtPoint:point] (and similar) to get the NSIndexPath.

This change required me to make a set of these indexPaths so they wouldn't get released until I don't need them. Also, all the other code which normally expected a model object now needs to lookup the model object from the index path. In my case this was efficient.

Answer 2

you can do the following:

NSScrollView* scrollView = [self.tableView enclosingScrollView];

CGRect visibleRect = scrollView.contentView.visibleRect;

NSRange range = [self.tableView rowsInRect:visibleRect];

in the range you will get the location as the first visible cell and in the length the amount of cells are shown so you can know the index of the visible cells.

Answer 3

In Swift 3:

let rows = IndexSet(integersIn: 0..<outlineView.numberOfRows)
let rowViews = rows.flatMap { outlineView.rowView(atRow: $0, makeIfNecessary: false) as? RowView }

for rowView in rowViews 
    //iterate over rows
}

Answer 4

NSOutlineView is an NSTableView subclass. Therefore -rowsInRect: can be combined with -visibleRect (from NSView). Use -levelForRow: to determine the level.
