How to set row height based on its contents in a table?

Question

Typically, a table has a fixed row height, but according to my requirements, I need to set the height of each row according to the contents inside it.

Can someone suggest me some solution?

Thanks,

Thank you all for your suggestions and help. This problem is now resolved using the following code in tableView:heightOfRow:

 float colWidth = [[[tableView tableColumns] objectAtIndex:1]width]; NSString *content = [[[tempArray objectAtIndex:row] objectForKey:@"tValue"] string]; float textWidth = [content sizeWithAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSFont fontWithName:@"Lucida Grande" size:15],NSFontAttributeName ,nil]].width; float newHeight = ceil(textWidth/colWidth); newHeight = (newHeight * 17) + 13; if(newHeight < 47){ return 47; } return newHeight;

The table view delegate protocol has tableView: heightOfRow , which allows you to set the height of each row in the table view.
