Citando Fred Kiefer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:There are also a lot of problems with setShowsFirstResponder:. I think from the documentation that this only indicates that the dotted line will be drawn, when the cells also becomes first responder. But our current code treats this as unconditional, the value itself determines if the dots get drawn. This value is screwed up by the current code in NSButton, whenever the button becomes first responder. And even worse in NSMatrix. I would like to change this, so that the redraw code of NSCell takes over the processing of showsFirstResponder (drawing the dotted frame whenever the control is the first responder and the cell is the selected cell of the responder) and just selecting the cell everywhere else. Is this solution fine for everybody?
Well, I don't agree with this change. It would break object encapsulation. IMHO, it should be the control that makes the decision of which cell should show first responder status, not the cell. For example, with NSMatrix, it is keyCell, not selectedCell (the code in NSMatrix is wrong) that should be dotted. A different control could have another way to choose its first responder cell.
This is an interesting point you are making. I did not know, that for NSMatrix the key cell should be the first responder, but than yes, when you think about it it is obvious.
My underlying question is what the showsFirstResponder method is used for. Will it be just be called internally for the cell of the first responder to switch on the dotted frame, as it is now used in the GNUstep code or should it, as the documentation seems to imply be used to switch on and off the behaviour of showing the dotted line, when becoming first responder?
Perhaps somebody with a MacOSX could check if the way I do understand the documentation is correct. If not than only the two new methods on NSControl (becomeFirstResponder and resignFirstResponder) and thedrawInteriorWithFrame:inView: method on NSButtonCell and NSPopupButtonCell must be adopted. Otherwise all the drawing of cells will need reviewing.
