Re: Finding the active NSTextField

You could try something like:

id anObject = [theWindow firstResponder];
if([anObject respondsToSelector:@selector(isFieldEditor)])
{
	if([anObject isFieldEditor])
	{
		id activeTextField = [[theWindow firstResponder] delegate];
	}
}

The first responder for an active text field will always be its field editor. Hope this helps,

How do I find which NSTextField has user focus in my window? I tried
using NSWindow's firstResponder method, but that just gave me the
window back. Searching the archives, I found a post suggesting
NSControl's currentEditor, but that just returned nil.

My window has a pair of radio buttons which controls whether two text
fields are active. If one of those two has user focus when they are
deactivated, I want to move the focus to another field that's always
active.
