I've got a NSTextField (on a NSTabView). I open the window. I
click the text field and enter some text. Now I click on a button
next to it.
The value has still not been "committed" and it still has the
cursor.
Then I click outside of the text field (just somewhere in the
view) and still the NSTextField does not lose it's focus.
What's going on? I looked through options in IB3. What do I need
to read up on?
Got it ...I had to set the firstResponder to nil in the IBAction
before I access the text field
[[self window] makeFirstResponder: nil];
If your intent was to have the text field set the value of a model
key via bindings, that's not the recommended way of doing it. You
should invoke the -commitEditing method of the controller. Do a
full-text search for that method and the NSEditor informal protocol
for more info.
