my app contains an NSSearchField in the toolbar of the various document windows. and i have the various predicates of the search field bound to iVars in my app. additionally, i have my own predicate builder that lets the user build complex search predicates. when the user has built a complex predicate, i set the placeholder text of the search field to be "Custom Filter".

all this works fine.

the problem is that in the situation in which there is a custom filter, there is no text for the search field, and thus the cancel button doesn't show. i've worked around this for now by having a "Cancel Custom Filter" menu item in the search field's menu.

is there anyway to get the cancel button to show if the search field has my special ("Custom Filter") placeholder text?

thanx,
ken
