NSTextField Selection Problem

As always, thanks for the help guys!

Here is my problem.

I have a series of NSTextFields into which a user of my application is entering some preference information. I validate the information entered with control:textShouldEndEditing:

What I want to do is to select the current NSTextField value in the control:textShouldEndEditing: method. I have tried to do that with [myNSTextField selectText:nil] but I seem to be in a recursive loop!

From what I can ascertain, adding the [myNSTextField selectText:nil] line to my control:textShouldEndEditing: method creates an infinite loop!

It appears like the [myNSTextField selectText:nil] method causes the control:textShouldEndEditing: method to be called.

So, the goal is to validate the text in an NSTextField and to select the text if it is not valid.

(In my simple case I am simply checking the length of a user entered password.)
