I've managed to implement the steps in the guide, https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/mac/user-interface/working-with-collection-views/, but Id like to have more control over the look and feel of the CollectionView at run-time. I haven't been able to successfully implement some the Cocoa techniques I found online for doing this yet.
I've attached my prototype project which populates an NSCollectionView as per the Xamarin guide, and what I'd like to be able to do at this point are...
- Adjust the spacing between the NSCollectionViewItems, horizontally and vertically.
- Get a reference to the NSBox of the selected item and set the fill color, or change the selected items color from within the designer.
- Get a reference to the NSBox of the selected item and change the color of its border and its thickness.
- And now that I think about it, have multiple sections bound to different Array Controllers.
I think if I could do these things, I'd be able to do any other customizations I may need going forward.
Anybody out there know how to do these things in a Xamarin.Mac app?
Thanks
