+initialize is called before -awakeFromNib, so it doesn't help. What i have found out is that it's the coder that gets passed to - initWithCoder: that creates a NSSearchFieldCell instead of my AnimatedSearchFieldCell.

This kind of makes sense after reading the docs. My class is being initialized with a encoded NSSearchField, so naturally it will get a NSSearchFieldCell. But if this is the way it's supposed to work, then why does the docs speak of calling +setCellClass: in -awakeFromNib? And why is the class returned by +cellClass being ignored?

For the moment I'm solving the problem by letting AnimatedSearchFieldCell pose as NSSearchFieldCell. AnimatedSearchFieldCell only adds a binding anyway, so it shouldn't do any harm.

Is it legal to call the super class's +initialize?

Oh. Apparently not. Thanks!

Anyways, I've tried +setCellClass: both from AnimatedSearchField's +initialize, and from the window controllers, and on both AnimatedSearchField and NSSearchField. AnimatedSearchField's +allocWithZone: is being called, as is +cellClass, so why on earth it insists on using NSSearchFieldCell is above and beyond my comprehension.

How about calling +setCellClass: from -[AnimatedSearchField's awakeFromNib]?


Cheers,
