Hi there,
Okay - I haven't got any responses yet from someone who knows what's
happening here, so any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers.

Hi there,
Okay, I've checked the archives and what I'm seeing is commonly
experienced by most.
In ConverterController.m I have the following...
- (IBAction)convert:(id)sender
{
...
[rateField selectText:self];
}
Now what most people experience is that if you click the Convert
button, then the NSTextField, rateField, gains the focus and its text
is selected. However, if the user presses the Enter or Return key (even
though it's set to be the Equiv in Interface Builder) that the
currently selected NSTextField retains the selection.
I'm guessing that there is a conflict of interest here. i.e., an
NSTextField reacts to a typed key (such as Return), however we are
trying to remove the focus from the field (which happens automatically
if you click with the mouse on the Convert button).
What is the easiest way to, for example, unconditionally focus the
cursor (and thus with selectText method above) for an NSTextField?
Thanks very much.
with regards,
