Thank you, implementing the delegate method and returning nothing from it worked.
By the way, this is pretty basic stuff. I think there should have been a line or two about it in the NSTextField documentation. Thank you. --- On Tue, 10/28/08, John Joyce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: John Joyce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Turning off Auto Complete feature for NSTextField To: cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com Date: Tuesday, October 28, 2008, 7:40 AM On Oct 28, 2008, at 8:42 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Turning off Auto Complete feature for NSTextField > To: cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Hi, > > I am encountering a small problem.

The behavior is part of NSTextView and the two are a bit different. You'll need to override some methods, so you'll want to subclass. You might be surprised how often the completion is available in apps. NSTextField does not appear to have the same methods. Oddly, both do have the Delegate method control:textView:completions:forPartialWordRange:indexOfSelectedItem: This is pretty simple to take over. You just hijack it by giving it nothing! An empty array. Of course this will still give you the system alert sound if esc is pressed to autocomplete. The normal set of completions will come from Dictionary.app so they will be locale-dependent. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
