How can I continuously get data from an NSTextField and do this in the background? I'm doing this because I'm using a quartz composer plugin to get posted values in an NSTextField. This is within the same app. Any ideas?? Elijah ...
So I know you have to put this in the .h file: - (void)textDidEndEditing:(NSNotification *)aNotification BUT what do I call in the .m file?? How do I show that text is done editing in one of several NSTextFields? I looked around on the internet, but it seems pretty vague on how to use it correctly. Any ideas? Elijah ...
Here's the code: - (IBAction) charlieImputText:(id)sender { //getting value from text field when entered charlieImputSelf = [sender stringValue]; if (charlieImputSelf != @"") { (send field if not empty) } } This sends it even when the field is empty; therefore, this does not work as I want it to. Sorry...
Can someone post the simplest example on how to use controlTextDidChange with a text label in the .h and .m files? Another part of my code constantly changes the value of this text label multiple times a second. I just need another part of my script that can tell if the value has changed and preform an action. All these websites out ther...

Ok, so I have an NSTextField and an NSSlider. In interface builder, I got the float value from the NSSlider to go into the NSTextField. BUT, I need a button that sends the text from the text field in so I can get the value in my code. That text field can also accept manual input so I cannot just link the NSSlider to my code. This is simi...
When I press enter on an NSTextField to send what ever's in the text field, it sends it, but highlights what ever's in the NSTextField. Does anyone know how to make it so that once it sends the command in, it deletes what ever's in the NSTextField? Thanks, Elijah ...
I can't seem to find a way to get notified when an NSTextField loses focus by pressing the Tab key. I get a nice textDidEndEditing when clicking another control or when pressing Enter, but not if I change the focus by pressing the Tab key. Also tried to yank KeyDown and doCommandBySelector for this purpose but I got nowhere. Any ideas?...

I have searched extensively and cannot for the life of me find any information about how to achieve a similar effect to that of the iTunes song title scrolling if the text is too large in Cocoa.

I have an NSComboBox and I was wondering if there is an easy way to convert it to an ordinary NSTextField? Considering NSCombBox is a subclass of NSTextField, I would think there is an easy way to turn this on/off but I can't figure it out. ...
I have a button that adds a token to a NSTokenField. It adds the token always to the end of the field: NSTokenField *currentField = [sender representedObject]; // Determine which token should be inserted into the field using the tag of the sender. switch( [sender tag] ) { case eFileNameToken_StartDate: ...
I have an NSTextField which is bound to an int in an object that I have included in my nib. When the object changes its int, the text field follows suit, and everything looks fine. However, when I try to change it manually the program crashes as soon as I hit a key. It's not even getting into my setter methods, it just crashes with Pr...

I have a graphics app that uses a NSTextField instance for in-place text editing, this feature was added long time ago and I never had a reason to check it, however, I have recently received a report: text filed doesn't allow text formatting. Format -> Text menu subitems are all disabled, so there is no way to set the paragraph of a text...
First of all i have to do this without IB and without advanced Objective-C techniques like KVO. My problem comes from the simple fact that i can't find a way to get the whole new string value of the text field. I'm tried using the delegate function: - (BOOL)textView:(NSTextView *)aTextView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)affectedCha...
