Change image of custom button cell inside NSTableView

hi i am using an NSTableView it contains 2 columns A and B

A contains data B contains buttons

i want when user clicks on an any button inside the table view then its image must get changed.

How i add a custom button inside tableview cell:

NSButtonCell *buttonCell = [[[NSButtonCell alloc] init] autorelease];
    [buttonCell setBordered:NO];
    [buttonCell setImagePosition:NSImageOnly];
    [buttonCell setButtonType:NSMomentaryChangeButton];
    [buttonCell setImage:[NSImage imageNamed:@"uncheck.png"]];
    [buttonCell setSelectable:TRUE];
    [buttonCell setTarget:self];
    [buttonCell setAction:@selector(deleteSongContent:)];


    [[myTable tableColumnWithIdentifier:@"EditIdentifier"] setDataCell:buttonCell];

When i click on the button the selector method gets fired but i dont understand how to change the image of button cell.

Any suggestions please!!!!!!!

Edit:

When i click on the button the method is called and how it works:

-(void)selectButtonsForDeletion:(NSTableView *)tableView 
{
  NSEvent *currentEvent = [[tableView window] currentEvent];
  int columnIndex = [tableView columnAtPoint:
                     [tableView convertPoint:
                      [currentEvent locationInWindow] fromView:nil]];
    NSTableColumn *column = [[tableView tableColumns]objectAtIndex:columnIndex];
    NSButtonCell *aCell = [[tableView tableColumnWithIdentifier:
                          [column identifier]]
                          dataCellForRow:[tableView selectedRow]];


    NSInteger index = [[aCell title] intValue];
    if(![selectedIndexesArray containsObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:index]])
    {
        [aCell setImage:[NSImage imageNamed:@"check.png"]];
        [selectedIndexesArray addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:index]];
    }
    else 
    {
        [aCell setImage:[NSImage imageNamed:@"uncheck.png"]];
        [selectedIndexesArray removeObjectAtIndex:[selectedIndexesArray indexOfObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:index]]];
    }
}

Finally i got the answer:

I found that after below mentioned method:

- (void)tableView: setObjectValue: forTableColumn: row:

this method is called:

-(void)tableView: willDisplayCell: forTableColumn: row:

and i applied my logic that if check-image is already applied on the button then don't change it.

If all you want is to change the image on the NSButtonCell, then you can easily do this in the selector that is being called. The selector fired accepts a parameter. That parameter is the NSButtonCell object (if I am correct).

So why not do something like this:

- (void) deleteSongContent:(NSButtonCell*) button
{
    [button setImage[NSImage imageNamed:@"checked.png"]];
}
