But why? Views already have a perfectly servicable mechanism for linking a series of fields (or any other items) in a sequence, called the ‘nextKeyView’ outlet. The problem I’m having is not determining which field to select, but making it actually select so that the user can type into it without needing it to be clicked again, despite showing the focus ring. > Shouldn't it be [self makeFirstResponder:myTextFieldRef]? This code is in a NSWindowController, not a NSWindow. While that is a NSResponder subclass and does respond to the message, it’s the window that selects among its subviews - at least that’s how I’ve always written code like this. I will check whether doing this makes any difference though. —Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
