I have an NSTextField subclass
that wants to know when it is no longer "firstResponder".

I put firstResponder in quotes because NSTextField is never
firstResponder for long. In -becomeFirstResponder it sets up the
field editor and makes it the firstResponder. (Thus overriding -
resignFirstResponder doesn't help, since that happens right away.)

Have I missed something obvious, or is this simply incorrect advice?

I'm not understanding why controlTextDidEndEditing: doesn't do it for you.
It corresponds exactly to everything I think of intuitively as "loss of
focus". Have you some counter-example?

The problem is that I don't know what know that editing is over, I really want to know when the text field is no longer being edited via the field editor. (The text field subclass wants to draw extra adornment in this case.)

-textDidEndEditing: is sent when the user presses Enter, and the field editor is still first responder.

Thanks,
Jim
