Hey Folks,
I would like to implement something that I would describe as "popup"
text entry. Effectively I have a view that displays some textual
information. I would like to make it so that if the user clicks on the
view it becomes a text entry box.
I have worked out how to insert a NSTextField into the view hierarchy
and make it the first responder. That works well.
What I would like to do is make it so that if the user hits tab or
enter, the "popup" text entry is removed and the text that was entered
is commited. I think I understand how to do that.
I also need for the popup text entry to be removed when the user
clicks outside of the NSTextField.
In my Carbon version of this, I made a modal window that I stuck the
text edit field into, and I could detect if there was a click outside
that window.
With Cocoa, Ideally, I would rather just let the event loop run
normally, but I can't work out how to detect if the user has clicked
outside of the NSTextField. Is there any way to do this easily, or do
I need to run a local eventloop, or do I need to go back to the way I
did it in Carbon and stick the entire text entry into its own window?
Any guidance (or pointers to the relevant docs would be greatly
appreciated!!
Thanks!
