Hiding NSTableView header?

Question

How do I hide an NSTableView header completely, so that it does not take any space up?

+1 for asking a good question. – ArtOfWarfare Dec 02 '12 at 22:50 — ArtOfWarfare, Dec 02 '12 at 22:50

In Interface Builder, select the table view, open the attributes inspector (alt-command-4), and uncheck the "Headers" checkbox in the "Columns" section.

This was not easy to find! Thank you! – Max Hudson May 25 '17 at 03:05
Works also for `NSOutlineView`, obviously (Table View section of the attributes inspector). – Nicolas Miari Aug 20 '17 at 12:46

You can also set the headerView programmatically without subclassing

[tableView setHeaderView:nil];

To do this programmatically, you can subclass NSTableView (or any NSTableView child class) and return nil for the headerView variable:

@interface AppTableView : NSTableView {

}

@end

@implementation AppTableView

- (NSTableHeaderView *)headerView{
    return nil;
}

@end
