>> OK, great. In that case it's weird that your cut/copy/paste items are not enabled while a text field in your dialog has focus. You have focus set in one of your text fields / views, right?
I just tried enabling the edit menu items when a dialog is up, that didn't change anything. The NSTextField is blinking and typing into the field works, so it has focus. >> Not sure what you mean with "not using the main app menu system"? I'd argue that it should be, and that you should be using regular first responder based menu item validation for making sure that only the menu items that make sense are enabled during your modal session (again something that typically works without any additional work on your part). Well, when the dialog field has selected text and i type command-x my menu item's action handler is NOT invoked, because there is a modal dialog up I guess. On microsoft windows if you have a text field up on a dialog with focus it just responds to control-x and cuts the text. It doesn't matter what is happening in the application menus.
