I added a search field to a small test project, to see if it works correctly in a less complicated setup, but to no avail. The Find menu items are still disabled. Some more googling (previous queries did not yield any relevant info), showed me that this issue has bitten others before, but no solutions appear to have been put forward. I've checked the responder chain, and tried to catch calls to validateMenuItem and validateUserInterfaceItem:, to see if I can find out the point at which these items are disabled. But the break points don't even trigger. When I check the window for its first responder, when the search field is receiving input, it returns the document window, not the search field. The document window though, has its own implementation of validateMenuItem:, but that is never called. How can I find out where the validation for performFindPanelAction: fails? -António _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
