I need to be able to find the current value of a NSTextField even if it is
being edited. I have the following code to check if it is being edited, and get
the value from the field editor instead:
fresp = [[txtf window] firstResponder];
if ([fresp isKindOfClass:[NSTextView class]] && [(NSTextView*)fresp
delegate] == txtf)
str = [(NSTextView*)fresp string]; // being edited,
get from field editor
else
str = [txtf stringValue]; // not being edited, get from
textfield itself
When the text field (txtf) is being edited, the first case is definitely used,
but the wrong value still results. Ie suppose the original textfield contained
100, I click on it to edit it and change the value to 140. Now the code above
runs (while the text field is still being edited). The result is the original
100, not the current 140, even though it is the field editor that is being
queried.
How do I get the correct current value? This is a generic query, it can't end
editing on the field or otherwise change the state. Needless to say, I'm more
than a little surprised by this behavior. The whole field editor thing is kind
of like hanging your underwear to dry in the living room to start with. Now the
actual state seems to be even more opaque.
Thanks.
