How to highlight a row in NSTableView. Very Simple question

Question

I have NSTableView in my application. right now say is 8 columns by 48 rows.

I have a function that runs a specific a specific column to see wether or not the value in each cell is greater than a certain value. If it is I would like the application to highlight the row.

I did some reading and I am still looking for the functions calls or a process that will let me extract the cells/rows/or rect and let me change the color.

if you can tell me the functions and the steps in changing the color of the cells I would greatly appreciated it.

Set a tableView delegate and implement the

method. Then write a custom dataCell class to do the custom drawing.
