Controls (like NSTextField) each have an associated cell which
contains the display attributes of the control. NSCell and its
subclasses implement copying, so you can copy the cell instead of the
view (which does not support NSCopying).
Alternatively, NSViews support NSCoding, so generally speaking if you
have a view or subclass that you need to replicate, one way to do it
is to archive it and then unarchive it for however many "copies" you
might need.

Hello,
I have an NSTextField connected to an IBOutlet. This text field
contains certain properties, such as font, size, color, and other
attributes. I need to replicate this field programatically several
times, in order to add it to a view. I thought I could do something
like:
NSTextField *myField = [templateField copy];
Unfortunately, this raises an exception. So my question is: how can
I replicate a NSTextField retaining its attributes?
Thanks in advance,
