Selected Column Of NSTableView

Question

I am trying this solution also But It doesn’t solve my problem

Get selected column and row from NSTableView

Get selected row and column in view based nstable

How can I get the column selected ? what i get when i am using selectedColumn property of NSTableView

[tableView selectedColumn] //returns -1
[tableView selectedRow] //returns 1,

is there any way to get selected column

Note: I want to get selected column without creating subclass of NSTableView class

What does it mean in Objective-C if an integer is -1? That's basics. — El Tomato, Mar 15 '16 at 11:03
Apparently row 1 is selected. You can't select a row and a column at the same time. — Willeke, Mar 15 '16 at 13:50

In objective-C I think it should look like that

`[self.tableview rowForView:sender];` and the same with columns. I think should look like that, but i'm not an objective-c expert. (I added an image on my old answer) – Rafa Febrer Mar 19 '16 at 14:04
@RafaFebrer you sir, are a lifesaver. This should be the accepted answer. – Dmitry Serov Jun 06 '17 at 06:40

Assuming you want the column being edited:

id firstResponder = self.window.firstResponder;
if ([firstResponder isKindOfClass:[NSView class]])
    NSInteger column = [self.tableView columnForView:firstResponder];

Thank you For answer But I want selected column not column being edited. – Sangram Shivankar Mar 15 '16 at 17:54
The selected column is `[tableView selectedColumn]`. – Willeke Mar 15 '16 at 22:29
`[tableView selectedColumn]` will gives -1. so it does not solve my problem – Sangram Shivankar Mar 16 '16 at 08:29
Did you select a column? – Willeke Mar 16 '16 at 09:47
