Re: NSTextField subclass - not using NSTextFieldCell subclass when unarchived from nib?

I have two subclassses:

MyTextField
MyTextFieldCell

I've dragged an NSTextField out into my window in IB, and set its custom class to MyTextField.

In the MyTextField implementation I've tried both (and at the same time)

+ (void)initialize
{
	if (self == [MyTextField class]) {
		[self setCellClass: [MyTextFieldCell class]];
	}
}

+ (Class)cellClass
{	
	return [MyTextFieldCell class];
}

Still, NSTextFieldCell is used, and not my subclass. (Strangely, I do not run into the same problem with subclassing NSTokenField/ NSTokenFieldCell.)

What have I overlooked?

How can I get MyTextFieldCell to be used as the cell for MyTextField when unarchived from a nib?

When subclassing NSTextField/NSTextFieldCell, you'll also need to ensure that the field editor will use your subclasses as well.

I don't remember any specific code examples on this, but I know it's listed in the archives.
