moveItem(at:inParent:to:inParent:)

Moves an item at a given index in the given parent to a new index in a new parent.

Declaration

func moveItem(at fromIndex: Int, inParent oldParent: Any?, to toIndex: Int, inParent newParent: Any?)

Parameters

  • fromIndex:

    Index of the item to be moved.

  • oldParent:

    The parent of the item to be moved.

  • toIndex:

    Index in the new parent to which the item is moved.

  • newParent:

    The parent of the item after it is moved.

Discussion

This method parallels the moveRow(at:to:) method of NSTableView. The newParent can be the same as oldParent to reorder an item within the same parent.

You can call this method multiple times within the same beginUpdates()/endUpdates() block. Moving from an invalid index, or to an invalid index, throws an exception.
