Hello Everyone.

I'm implementing a programmatic wrapper for using an NSTextField on our custom 
view ---

 I programmatically create an NSTextField, Embed it in the super-view,  then 
let the user type in text and as soon as the user finishes, I need to collect 
the typed string, plus the way the field was dismissed (Esc, Return, Tab, 
Back-Tab plus modification keys if any). I then release this NSTextField, until 
I need to create a new one.


Now --- I tried to Implement the

- (BOOL)control:(NSControl *)control textShouldEndEditing:(NSText *)fieldEditor;

and the

- (void)controlTextDidEndEditing:(NSNotification *)obj;

NSControl delegate methods , and I even get them called.

However, I don't know how to extract the REASON for the ending of the text 
editing session. From the input of these delegate, I can extract the 
FieldEditor responsible, but I don't know how to question it for the reason "I 
got here".

I could subclass NSTextField and implement the

-insertReturn  and - insertTab methods (of NSResponder) and record the status 
(Still I don't know how to identify a Back-Tab or an option-Tab or an ctrl-Tab 
etc) but I try to refrain from subclassing NSTextField.

Any hint will be greatly appreciated!
