I'm trying to implement this. I created a custom NSTextField subclass, called ICNTextField. When an ICNTextField instance receives a mouseDown event, it initializes a custom NSWindow subclass with a borderless window mask. In the window subclass, I've overridden -canBecomeKeyWindow: so that it always returns yes.
When ICNTextField receives the controlTextDidEndEditing notification, it takes the string value from the text field in the borderless window and displays it properly, but the Core Data attribute to which the original text field is bound does not update its value. I've looked into endEditing and endEditing:, nextKeyView and various forms of commit, but can't seem to find a way to get the bindings to recognize the new string value. I'd like to do this in a generic fashion, so I can make any text field an ICNTextField and know that its bound attributes will be updated without having to write additional code for each text field. Any help would be appreciated.
