Hi Riccardo:
The information you are looking for is not in the NSTextField documentation, but in the NSControl documentation, NSTextField's superclass. You can find it in the Cocoa Reference docs others have sent links to. Welcome to the joys of subclasses!

First of all, thank you very much for giving me such advice, but you know, I come from Amiga OS 3.0 programming which was veeeeeery different :-))
I thought this about Interface Builder: if it knows the objects (and so the actions like print: or fax: or takesomething:) why doesn't it know the rest of the actions for every objects ?
Wouldn't this make things much more easier for simple step coding ? Or am I totally out of brain (please consider this option as here in Italy there are 38 Celsius degrees of HOT !!!! :-) ) ?

This is a great aspect about Cocoa because it allows you to replace controls with other controls without changing any code. I recently changed a user interface widget on the program I am working on from a stepper to a slider without changing any code...it was very exciting! :-)


Yes, I understand now what you are saying. Just a little touch in Interface Builder and everything will be simpler.
Now that the very first project has been done, I'd like to start a second one: a simple Quicktime player with NO fancy options. Just load, stop, play.
BTW , why did I have to specify the "at (@)" symbol before the string ? Is it part of the string treatment on Objective - C
Thank you very much !

PS: If all of you have some free time and want some free brand new orchestral music to listen to while you're coding, please look at my site (written below) and download all the things you want. :-)
