macOS Table View Question.

Sorry, that made me laugh. You are outlining a complex idea, asking about TableViews and then you say you have not tried anything ???
Wow ...
I know it sounds funny... but I am asking for someone to point me in the right direction.
You open Xcode, create a new project.
You open the main XIB/Storyboard
You drag a SpliView in the Window
You drag a TableView to the left side od the SplitView.
You drag a Custom View Class to the right.
You connect all outlets to you controller and datasource and so on.
I would never design it that way, but if you need a rapid prototype, this ia basically what you do.
Then you implement your datasource and TableView delegate.
Everytime you select a an item on the left, you insert a Movie View as a subview on the right, removing one that's already there.
What's your actual question?

Thanks for your help but I did the steps you stated above already for a prototype but mine I did not use a SplitView.
You asked for someone to help by pointing you to the right direction, he gives you the right direction and then you reply with "I did not use splitview"?
I don't get it.

I don't get it.
Why the confusion/putdown? He tried something, but he's looking for another way from us AND maybe he doesn't know how to insert a movieview.
Be cool man.
Confused because he said he followed the steps provided BUT did not use a splitview. That means he actually did not follow it as 3rd step asks him to use one.
Thats what I dont get
Let's just be helpful
I read his comments as that he had already done some preliminary coding on his own without the split view. Note the key word "ALREADY" in his response.
Nevermind ... I don't want us to belabor the point. I'm just opting for tolerance ... all of us at times ask what may seem to be stupid questions.

I think I understand your problem.
To get whatever row is selected you can do this:
Code:
id selectedItem = [yourTableView itemAtRow:[yourTableView selectedRow]];With the data that is returned you could use a switch or if-else statement (really anything of deciding nature) to determine what video to play depending on what is selected.
The videos can be played via a QTMovieView, which you can read more about here.
Just place a QTMovieView next to your table view -- and voila -- switch the videos out as needed.
Hopefully this can help you out!
