Re: NSTextField "Discard Change"

I have a custom NSNumberFormatter which does validation. If I bind the text field using NSValueBinding then when validation fails an alert panel will automatically appear. However it is the binding machinery that brings up the alert panel. Apple integrates bindings with user interface elements u

Re: NSTextField "Discard Change"

IIRC, you get this behavior automatically when validating with a formatter, so applying a custom NSNumberFormatter subclass might be more canonical and less kludgey. HTH, Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc. "Demystifying technology for your home or business" > On May 6, 2019, at 5:33 AM, Richard Cha

Re: NSTextField "Discard Change"

Thank you Quincey, Sean, Gary and Alex for your comments and suggestions. To recap I have a NSTextField subclass bound to an array controller using a derived value binding. The user selects one or more objects in a graphic view. Object properties are shown in an inspector containing the text fie

It looks like time to subclass or extend and add the functionality you need. Sent from my iPhone On Apr 27, 2019, at 7:26 PM, Richard Charles wrote: >> On Apr 7, 2019, at 11:03 AM, Quincey Morris >> wrote: >> >>> On Apr 5, 2019, at 20:55 , Richard Charles wrote: >>> >>> Sending the text fi

Re: NSTextField "Discard Change"

From what you’ve described and shown, your expectations for discardEditing are not correct. The method discardEditing is a method you implement, typically on your view controller that owns/manages your text field. There’s not really any good sample source using discardEditing I could find to p

Re: NSTextField "Discard Change"

Quincey, thanks so much for your insight. Unfortunately I will be gone for the next several weeks. I thought I would be able to tackle this problem before I left but now I have run out of time. I will be able to look more carefully at your comments when I get back. Thanks again. --Richard Charl
