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! Motti Shneor ------------------------------------------ Senior Software Engineer Waves Audio ltd.
