Drag a label from IB and connect it to an outlet in some other object.
Just use -setStringValue: to change the label text.
A label is just an NSTextField that is enabled but not selectable or
editable. Of course, I think all text should be selectable because you
never know what some user may want to select and copy. Maybe that want
to copy the text of a label so they can paste it in a tech support
e-mail...
What made you think -setStringValue: wouldn't work ?
- (void)setStringValue:(NSString *)aString
Sets the value of the receivers cell (or selected cell) to the string
aString. If the cell is being edited, it aborts all editing before
setting the value; if the cell doesnt inherit from NSActionCell, it
marks the cells interior for automatic redisplay (NSActionCell
performs its own updating of cells).

setObjectValue:, stringValue

I have looked at the methods available for NSTextField and I cannot
find anything which does this. NSTextView seems to be more amenable
to changing the string, but IB doesn't have an object for that.
It seems a very simple thing to want to do, so I'm guessing that the
way I think it would be done is not the way it *should* be done and
that if I find the "Cocoa way" it will be very straightforward...
Thanks!
