How to add footer to NSTableView?

Question

NSTableView doesn't seem to have the equivalent of a UITableView tableFooterView . How can I add a footer view to a table view in Cocoa?

Answer 1

NSTableView does not have sections such as UITableView or NSCollectionView, and therefore there are no headers and footers.

Instead, you can do this through your data source if you use a table based on a view.

• Add a cell to the table in Interface Builder with the custom style / elements you need in the footer. Give it an identifier like "TableFooter"
• An increment (per unit) of the number of rows returned by your NSTableViewDataSource numberOfRowsInTableView(tableView:)
• and in tableView(tableView:viewForTableColumn:row:) for this last row, create this item from the storyboard using the identifier "TableFooter".
