I've tried two different approaches. The first thing I tried was to make may app-delegate the delegate for my window and then implement -windowWillReturnFieldEditor:toObject:.
- (void)awakeFromNib { _fieldEditor = [NSTextView new]; [_fieldEditor setFieldEditor:YES]; NSDictionary* attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: [NSColor redColor], NSBackgroundColorAttributeName, /* something obvious so I can see it */ [NSColor yellowColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName, nil]; [_fieldEditor setSelectedTextAttributes:attributes]; } - (id)windowWillReturnFieldEditor:(NSWindow *)sender toObject:(id)client { if ( [client isKindOfClass:[NSTextField class]] ) { return _fieldEditor; } return nil; } Next, I tried something I found in a blog via Google at http://www.ff00aa.com/fr/archives/2009/02/28/9969-changing-the-selected-text-s-color-for-an-nstextfield/. - (void)viewDidMoveToWindow:(NSWindow *)window { if ( window != nil ) { NSDictionary* attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: [NSColor redColor], NSBackgroundColorAttributeName, [NSColor yellowColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName, nil]; // object-shadow text-field NSTextView *fieldEditor = (NSTextView *)[window fieldEditor:YES forObject:_shadowTextField]; [fieldEditor setSelectedTextAttributes:attributes]; // vignette text-field fieldEditor = (NSTextView *)[window fieldEditor:YES forObject:_vignetteTextField]; [fieldEditor setSelectedTextAttributes:attributes]; // opacity text-field fieldEditor = (NSTextView *)[window fieldEditor:YES forObject:_opacityTextField]; [fieldEditor setSelectedTextAttributes:attributes]; } } End result: In both cases I get the default white on cyan or whatever color you call it. Anyone have a technique that works or some experience with this type of modification? -Michael _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
