I've got some code which subclasses NSTextView in order to provide a

works
quite well.
Now, it looks like I need to do the same thing with an
NSSecureTextField.
Now, digging around, it looks like its field editor is an
NSSecureTextView--which isn't documented or in the headers, AFAICS.
Since
it's undocumented, I don't think there is a way I can subclass it.
So is it just not possible to customize the field editor for a
secure text
field? :|
Well, you could write your own header for the class and then subclass
it, but then you'll have to work whatever magic is necessary to get
NSSecureTextField to actually use it, since -
windowWillReturnFieldEditor:toObject: isn't called for special text
fields. That includes NSTokenField, which also uses its own special &
private field editor.
Ultimately, though, this is really hackey and probably shouldn't be
done. You can, however, do what you're trying to do with an
NSFormatter subclass instead.
