I have a 10.4 style date formatter applied to an NSTextFieldCell. I call setTwoDigitStartDate: (tried with both the epoch date and the "reference" date) but when I type in a date with a two digit year it sets the year to 0009 instead of 2009. Header: IBOutlet NSTextFieldCell *transactionDateField; // outlet *IS* set correctly in IB I...
I have a custom NSFormatter attached to several NSTextFields who's only purpose is to uppercase the characters as they are typed into field. The entire code for my formatter is included below.

I have an NSTableView which has its first column set to contain a custom NSTextFieldCell. My custom NSTextFieldCell needs to allow the user to edit a "desc" property within my Managed Object but to also display an "info" string that it contains (which is not editable). To achieve this, I followed this tutorial. In a nutshell, the tutoria...
The problem i have is when the formatter gets the string "-" or empty it fails to accept it. This makes entering a negative number a little bit uncomfortable. It also requires me to leave at least one digit in the field, which is also far from comfortable. Is there any way how a formatter would accept this as 0. My formatter works in N...
