hi,

values in NSTextField are not set by the convetional way, the are set by using the SetStringValue command. so for example if you have a certain string in variable called temp and you want to display it in a text field the command will be as follows:

[textField setStringValue:temp];

hope this helps you.

Hi,

I am quite new in Cocoa programming and didn't understand yet how to set initial value for some NSTextField from program?

Imagine I have a collection (Array of data, say, mates names). Want to see the first name from array in window once program starts up. So, I have a controller. Controller is instantiated in projects NIB.

Field (NSTextField), call it 'mate name', is connected to Controller via IBOutlet. Unfortunately setting any value in given text field from Controller init method does not produce any meaningful effect because it is executed before main window actually displayed resulting in empty field shown upon window appearance.

So, how to resolve this issue and thus set some text in NSTextField so that once Window is opened this value to be automatically shown?

Thanks.
