Thanks Corbin,
Indeed, there is a number formatter on the cell, so probably that is causing
the issue then. To make it possible to have an empty text field when there are
no pages in the document I changed the symbol for 0:
[self.toolbarPageNumberTextField.formatter setZeroSymbol:@""]; (I did
not know this is possible, until a few minutes ago.)
Then changed all instances of:
self.toolbarPageNumberTextField.stringValue =
@"";
to
self.toolbarPageNumberTextField.stringValue =
@"0";
Following your recommendation I also changed
self.toolbarPageNumberTextField.integerValue =
self.pageListController.selectionIndex + 1;
to
self.toolbarPageNumberTextField.stringValue = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",
self.pageListController.selectionIndex + 1];
Why do you recommend against using integerValue? For me it would make more
sense to always use integerValue, especially now that I can set the value to 0
to show an empty text field, since we're conceptually representing numbers
here, not strings.
