I've been using ABPeoplePickerView in a panel, and I'm trying to
figure out how to always have the cursor be active in the the search
field (i.e. that the search field receives the focus). This is the way
the people picker behaves in iChat. In my app however, after a user
selects a record and the panel is closed, the next time it's opened
the focus is no longer on the search field, but on the previously
selected record. The only way to force the cursor into the search
field is to use the tab key which is "non-obvious" to borrow a phrase.
I've tried called deselectAll: and that doesn't have any effect.
Further, there does not seem to be any public outlet for the search
field in this view. Is there some trick, hidden or otherwise, that I'm
missing
Doing a quick grep on the symbols brings up the method
-[ABPeoplePickerView _searchField], so (judging by the method name) you
should be able to use that to get a reference to the search field and
focus it. Obviously this is a private method, usual warnings, etc.
In case you're interested in how I found that, I used the command:
nm
/System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBook.framework/Versions/Current/
AddressBook | grep search
Hope this helps,
