How to get value from NSTextField(in cocoa)?

Question

I'm a beginner,thank u very much.

Answer 1

[myField stringValue]

NSTextField inherits NSControl, and NSControl defines the stringValue/setStringvalue methods.

Answer 2

For an NSString you would use:

NSString *myString = [theTextField stringValue];

For an int you would use:

int myInt = [theTextField intValue];

There are many other methods for getting the value from a control. Have a look at http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSControl_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/NSControl for more info, under the "Setting the Control’s Value" section.

Here's a list:

• doubleValue
• floatValue
• intValue
• integerValue
• objectValue
• stringValue
• attributedStringValue
