NSOutlineView cells are offset - objective-c

I'm trying to show a list in a view based NSOutlineView in an NSPopover. When showing the list, it results in something like this:
That's not what I set up in IB:
I'm using a standard non-subclassed NSTableCellView with an NSImageView and an NSTextField as set up for me by IB.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this? I tried reloadData in awakeFromNib. That fixed the first loading, but as I scroll down, the cells are offset again.

Oh well, turns out turning off Autolayout fixed this.

Can't edit custom cells with UITableView as subview

I have a view controller that I have a static view up at the top with a button and a tableview that is under it. I'm attempting to create custom cells in the tableview, but I cannot add labels or anything to the cell. Storyboard only allows me to add the labels to the original view or the tableview (but not the cell). How can I get around this?
Here's a picture for reference.
Out of pure "trying everything" I got it fixed by manually dragging a cell into the view and not using the auto generated prototype cells by xcode. It looks like it was a bug with xcode where it's auto generated prototype cells would not let any interaction happen. To fix it, I dragged a UITableView cell from the object list into the tableview and I was able to edit that just fine. Hope this helps someone else out.

scroll last Cell to top of UITableView

on my last cell is a dynamic textview. With bigger contentSize it will be stay on top of the tableview (to see it, while you fill it on keyboard), but if the textview and also the cell is going to be dynamically bigger: [tableview beginupdates] and [tableview endUpdates] will delete my contentSize. And after that it is scrolling it down to bottom of tableview.
Any ideas how to scroll the cell to the top, and create the cell also dynamically without changes on contentSize? maybe I'm thinking on the right way, ideas?
EDIT
Hmm..not any "correct" solution found...the best way for this purpose is to try set any new cells or sections below the textview to get this cell easy to top of the view. After this its easy to use it with beginUpdates and endUpdates. The cursor will be always in the textview, textview will be dynamically bigger also the cell, so the only easy way.
Another option is to set the uitableview as a subview of another scrollview (uitableview himself has one) to scroll up an down in the new scrollview.
Thanks for help.
From my experience, Text views in cells is a very tricky issue. I recommend just using the free Sensible TableView framework, which has text view cells available out of the box.

Toggle UITableViewCell in UITableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath

I have a UITableView with some cells, where (for example) the first cell is a header, and the second cell contains a View.
I'd like to toggle the view's visibility when I press the header.
The press thingy is done in didSelectRowAtIndexPath, so can I set the visibility of another row from my UITableView (animated if possible)?
Can't find anything about it on Google..
Thanks!
You can reload the table and toggle the row count.
Sure if you know which cell you want to toggle then you can either get a hold of it with cellForRowAtIndexPath method of UITableView, or if you just want to reload the cell you can use reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: here is a ref
It works when I get the contentView of my UITableViewCell, and change the height of that view.

UITableView in a UIScrollView - How to make the view scroll, but not the TableView in itself?

Imagine, there is a UIViewController with a UIScrollView in it. At the top of the view there is an UIImageView, some UILabels and other things. Furthermore, there is a UITableView which content is Dynamic Prototypes. I attach a picture to make it clear:
I haven't got a static amount of cells in the UITableView so it could be scrollable. My problem is the following: the UITableView scrolls in itself but I want to scroll the whole View. What is the best possibility to do that?
Possible solutions I've founded today
1) The first thing is: I create a UITableViewController and declare a header section in which I include all my labels, images etc. programmatically (I would love to use the interface builder for that...)
2) Another solution is to calculate the height of the view. I tried the best to do it like this way - but: without success. If this is the best way to do that: Can anybody give an example?
I would ditch the UIScrollView and just use a UITableView. You can add a UIView object as the tableHeaderView of the UITableView just by dragging it in in Interface Builder. Now since everything is part of the UITableView hierarchy, everything will scroll together as expected.
You could also try setting delaysContentTouches to NO on your scrollView. Depending on your setup, this may make the scroll view respond to the touch first instead of the table view.
From Apples UIScrollView Docs:
delaysContentTouches
A Boolean value that determines whether the scroll view delays the
handling of touch-down gestures.
#property(nonatomic) BOOL delaysContentTouches
Discussion
If the value of this property is YES, the scroll view delays handling
the touch-down gesture until it can determine if scrolling is the
intent. If the value is NO , the scroll view immediately calls
touchesShouldBegin:withEvent:inContentView:. The default
value is YES.
You'll have to (as you've mentioned) add the UIView containing the image and buttons to the actual UITableView. Embedding it in the scroll view will produce the undesired behavior that you're seeing.
I would recommend returning the UIView as the header view for the first section of your table view. You can do this by implementing the UITableViewDelegate method:
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section;
If you maintain an IBOutlet to the view containing your image/labels, you can return it here.

Scrolling a UITableView inside a UIScrollView

I have a UITableView which is a subview of a UIView, then that UIView is a subview of a UIScrollView. How do I detect the touches that should scroll the UITableView?
The UITableView can get item selection events (a cell in the table is selected/tapped) just fine, except that you have to hold down on the cell before it fires. But I can't get the UITableView to scroll, its always the UIScrollView that reacts to the pan gesture.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Solved, though I asked the wrong question. It does work by default as Roman K pointed out. I think the problem was related to having a part of the UITableView outside the bounds of the UIScrollView (the UITableView went over the bottom bounds of the UIScrollView). Setting it to correctly fit inside the UIScrollView fixed it.
Please, make sure that UIScrollView's properties delaysContentTouches and canCancelContentTouches are set appropriately. They control how UIScrollView instance passes touch information to its subviews. By default delaysContentTouches is set to YES. Also, make sure that, if you extended UIScrollView, touchesShouldBegin:withEvent:inContentView: allow touches in the subview.
Otherwise, UITableView scrolling should work by default in your scenario. If you create a test project with just the view hierarchy as described you will see that it is the case. So, compare the two and see what difference affects the scrolling.
