Hey Cyril -

How are you adding the formatter to the text field? After you add the formatter, does it appear as a child of the text field in the document outline view? If not, that's your problem. Interface Builder maintains a tree of all of the objects in the document. If you do something like call '[textField setFormatter:myFormatter]' where textField is a text field in an Interface Builder document, but formatter hasn't been added to the same document, then you'll run into this sort of issue. Just make sure to invoke -[IBDocument addObject:myFormatter toParent:myTextField] before calling [myTextField setFormatter:myForamtter].

Hope that clears up your issue -

hi,

I have designed customs NSTextField and NSFormatter objects that I have tried to pack in an interface builder 3 plugin...

This works fine (can drag and drop the field, can access field inspector), except that when I select the formatter, interface builder generates an assertion failure with :

Backtrace:
1. Interface Builder 0x00006620 [IBApplication handleAssertion:inFile:onLine:] 2. InterfaceBuilderKit 0x0021bed4 [IBObjectContainer objectIDForObject:] 3.

InterfaceBuilderKit 0x0023b630 [IBInspectorController rebuildInspectorStack] 10. InterfaceBuilderKit 0x0023b4c0 [IBInspectorController validate:]
...

The NSTextField and NSFormatter child have their own working plugins, and there is absolutely no problem if I combine the 2 above objects manually in interface builder. The field and its formatter are then fully accessible and designable.

I've tried various things without success. Has anyone got a tip on how to expose a programmatically attached formatter ?

Thanks.
Cyril.
