Well, I've tried just about everything I can think of at this point, but can't change the NSTableView cell successfully. To give some more detail, the cell text is red when there is an error, but when the user goes to edit the cell, I want to change the cell text back to black.

I can change the cell text from red to black when the user first begins to edit the text, with the following code:

-(void)controlTextDidBeginEditing:(NSNotification *)notification
{
   fieldEd = [[notification userInfo] objectForKey:@"NSFieldEditor"];
// Change the field editor text color to black (since it is being edited)
        [fieldEd setTextColor:[NSColor blackColor]];
}

But this only works when the user hits a key. What I would like to do is change the text from red to black when the user enters the cell for editing, but before the user hits any key.

I think what I need is a "controlTextMightBeginEditing" instead of "controlTextDidBeginEditing". ;-)

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

One way to do this is to override -fieldEditor:forObject: on the window and return a custom field editor that has the colors you want, when it is your tableView as the object.
