Whenever I add a layer for Core Animation either from the nib or programatically, the NSTextFields (labels) in my interface get messed up. Here's a screenshot from Apple's BasicCocoaAnimations example. (Look at the text fields on the left, somehow they're drawn sharper than normal) Note that if I add a layer in IB then it also gets mess...

I have a custom nstextfieldcell. I thought I could drag a textfield to a xib and click on it's cell, then change the cell's class to my custom class.That doesn't work.

Hi, I am trying to create a number dialing text field, that is, a text field that works in conjunction with an NSStepper sitting next to it. The text field should display floats and allow the user to use the scroll wheel to adjust the number it is displaying as well as the up and down arrow keys to the same effect. It should also swit...
I have a textfield that can either be edited by hand, or set through another control. (It's a page number, so you can jump to page 16 by typing in 16, or you can page up and down with the next/prev buttons) I have the value of the text field bound to an int page variable. It seems to work correctly, when you type a page number in, it ju...
I've been looking all over for a simple example of how to have an action (or button) be triggered when the enter key is hit in the text field. Should I subclass the text field? Would I need to set a delegate to call the action I need? Is there a way to catch the event in my main window controller class? If you could even just point me ...

So I have all this code that I have debugged and it seems to be fine. I made a mutable string and for some reason I can not get it to be displayed on my label. the debugger says "2010-04-22 22:50:26.126 Fibonacci[24836:10b] * -[NSTextField setString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x130150" What is wrong with this?

I have an NSTextField that I would like to enable "as-you-type" spell checking. When I load my application I can do this from the Menu Bar > Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Check Spelling While Typing.

Idea is: when user clicks "make editable" button, text field should become editable and when he/she clicks "make un-editable", it should become un-editable. In action of "make un-editable" I am ...

The text entered in the NSTextFields is only updated in the Core Data Entity if i press Tab or Return after writing in the NSTextField or if i focus another NSTextField with the mouse.

I'm in my second day of learning Objective-C, Cocoa and IB. This is probably something really simple but I cannot work it out. Basically, I have a form with a NSTextField, when the user types in this field and clicks an OK button the application will display an alert saying Hello followed by the value of text field. It's all working ap...
Given all the complex things I seem to cover every day, this appears to be a "what the heck am I doing wrong that seems to simple?" scenario! I would like to subclass an NSTextField to change the background color and text color. For simplicity sake (and to help anyone who hasn't ever subclassed anything before), here is the example of m...
Trying to change the selected text background color for an NSTextField (we have a dark UI, and selected text background is almost the same as the text itself), but only NSTextView seems to allow us to change this. So we're trying to fake an NSTextField using an NSTextView, but can't get text scrolling to work the same. The closest we g...
