Thanks for all the help on this so far...
So I was able to do this via code for a single edit field, but I have a
question now about setting up formatters in IB. Is there some way that I
can set it up in IB so that it always uses the appropriate format string,
as the user has set in the control panels?
This is important because I can't figure out how to do it at runtime for
the NSTableView cells. There is a whole column, which I applied a
formatter to in IB, however I need to make it work for whatever the user
settings are, not a static format string.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ryan Dary
