One common way to solve this sort of problem is to have your button action do a [window makeFirstResponder:window] prior to processing the field content. This will cause any editing field to end editing and send its action.

It is also sometimes desirabel to do this sort of thing on windowWillClose: or windowDidResignKey: for things like Inspector panels without OK buttons...

Subject: problem with Textfields

Hi,

I have a window with many NSTextField in a NSTabView. I created a controller for each view. There is also a button at the bottom of the window linked to the window controller.
I'd like to get all the values of the textfields in a shared object when i press the button.

I created a method for each textfield that sends its content to the shared object, then linked in IB each textfield to the respective method.

My problem is: textfields send messages at end editing, that is when we press enter or click elsewhere in the window, so my shared object is not updated with the last textfield edited if i directly click on the button.

Is there a way to order an update when clicking the button, or a better way to do that ?

Thanks for your help.


Patrice.
