Hello list,
I have an NSTextField, and I can get/set its value by its stringValue property.
However…
* When I call myField.stringValue="some text", that string ("some text")
appears as expected, but it's highlighted. That means that, when the user
starts typing, it disappears, defeating the purpose of the app putting it there
for the user in the first place. I want to leave the field able to support
selecting text, but I don't want new text programmatically inserted to be
selected automatically.
* If I try to set any properties of the field itself, I can't, because "self is
immutable". For example, in my text field delegate, I have controlTextDidChange
implemented. It works, but I wanted to update the field's accessibilityHelp
property in there. When I do
myField.accessibilityHelp="new a11y help"
I get the error "cannot assign to property: 'self' is immutable". My outlet is
a var, not a let, but I don't think this error is referring to that anyway.
* My field currently doesn't allow spellchecking or auto-correct, but I want it
to. I don't see that option anywhere in the inspectors, for the field or its
child cell. I don't want rich text, just spellchecking. Is it hiding somewhere,
or is this done programmatically?
As always, thank you for your time and help.
