I'm at a loss trying to display text in an NSDrawer.
I've got to the point where I can create an NSDrawer attached to a
window
with a button that toggles the drawer open and closed. I've even
modified
the content view to contain an NSTextView object and the blank textView
shows up fine. I just want the drawer to display logging information.
My controller object contains the following outlet:
IBOutlet NSTextView *logWindow;
You would better name it lowTextViewOL or something like that,
to indicate it is an outlet and that it is a TextView, no Window.
I connect the outlet of my controller object directly to the NSTextView
using Interface builder.
OK, should be fine.
Elsewhere in my controller code, in response to a menu selection, I
make the
following call with no errors:
[logWindow insertText:@"Add Entry Called"];
OK, should be fine as well and insert at cursor location or the complete
selected text.
The result is that I get nothing in the TextView of my drawer.
I suppose, you see the TextView. If not, it my be some sizing problem,
so that cocoa resized/repositened your TextView. But I suppose,
this is not the problem
Then, just as another datapoint, I added another NSTextView directly
to my
main window and called it logWindow2. I added the outlet to my
controller,
wired it up in interface builder and made a call just after the
original
logWindow call and it works as expected.
Am I not allowed to directly access a control on the NSDrawer
instance? Do I
have to go "through" the drawer object somehow (if so why didn't I get
some
kind of error?)?
You may perform any operation in a drawer's view, since it it
nothing special...
Sorry, to not provide more information. It's a bit hard give any advice
in this situation.
Could you provide the source-code?
Kind regards,
Stefan
