Is there a sanctioned way to programatically set the contents of
an NSTokenField (with contents that are tokens, not plain

control, but I can't figure out a straightforward way to do it.
When you say, before the user sees the control, can you not set
the value before you display the window?

That's what I'm trying to do, yes. Its just not behaving as I wish.
I am trying this in a controller instantiated in awakeFromNib, which
is about as early as I can get. When I call setStringValue, the
string is set AS PLAIN TEXT in the NSTokenField, when what I want to
happen is for the little blue bubbles to appear. When I simply type
that same string (as a user interacting with the window), then the
tokens appear correctly (indicating that my
tokenField:displayStringForRepresentedObject: is called and working
correctly).
Apparently, setStringValue: does not trigger the same "check for
tokens" logic that a user typing into the field causes. My question:
How can I force the NSTokenField to look at the string contents of
the entire field and "tokenize" it all?
