Sets if modifier keys are ignored during drags.
If YES, ignores modifier keys while dragging. If NO, honors modifier keys while dragging.
Sets if the table view uses rounded selections.
If YES, selections are rounded. If NO, selections are normal.
Sets if custom alternating row colors are used.
If YES, sets the table view to use custom alternating row colors.

Gradient selections are used by default.
Sets if highlights are tinted with the user's selection color when inactive.
If YES, sets to tint the highlight color when inactive.
This is used by default.

Lets the delegate know the drag failed.
The table view for which the drag failed.
The returned drag operation.
The last position (in screen coordinates) of the lower left corner of the drag image before the drag failed.
If YES, the drag ended inside the table view.
You can use this method to do whatever sort of clean up or anything of that nature you wish to if the drag fails.
Note that this method is called both when a drag is not accepted by any drag sources AND if the drag is dropped over the Trash icon in the Dock. In the former case, the operation parameter will be NSDragOperationNone, and in the latter it will be NSDragOperationDelete.
Called when a drag is started to create a custom drag image.
The table view that is starting the drag.
The row indexes that are selected in the table view.
The column indexes that are selected in the table view.
A pointer to the coordinates of the lower left corner of the default drag image.
The size of the default drag image.
The drag event.
The image you wish to use as the drag image, or nil if you wish to use the table view's drag image.
You can use this method to create your own drag image. Some things to note:
Called when a text movement (i.e. an edit) occurs.
The table view for which the text movement is occurring.
The text movment that is occurring.
The table column that is currently being edited.
The row that is currently being edited.
If the delegate handles the text movement (or wants to ignore it), this method should return NO, otherwise it should return YES to allow the table view to handle it as it normally would.
You can use this method to stop the edit from completing (though a formatter would likely be a better way to do this), keep the return key from going to the next field, or to keep the tab key from moving on to the next item.
Called when a key down event occurs.
The table view for which the key down event is occurring.
The key down event that is occurring.
If the delegate handles the keydown, this method should return NO, otherwise it should return YES to allow the table view to handle it as it normally would.
Called when a drag is started to see if the image should slideback if not accepted.
The table view that is starting the drag.
If you wish for the drag image to slide back if not accepted, return YES, otherwise return NO.
