I'll rephrase my question about "text thingys":
I want to be able to create at run-time a window which contains a
scrollable array of NSTextFields, scrollable because there may be
more text fields than will fit in the visible part of the window.
Each text field has a display rectangle, within which can be
entered (and displayed) a single line of text (with attributes).
If the window has focus, then a mouse-click within one of the text
fields should invoke a method (presumably via delegation or
notification) with an arg that tells the method which text field
was clicked in.
Is that possible?
I haven't been able to get that to work, even though aNSTextField
seems (like an NSButton) to be a subclass of NSControl, and to have
(again like NSButton) an associated cell class (NSTextFieldCell)
which is a subclass of NSActionCell.
I have been able to get this to work with NSButtons rather than
NSTextFields, but that seems -- gross.
If you can, use the delegate methods (bottom of the NSTextField doc).
Else, don't do it - clicks in NSTextFields already do something;
modify the selection or insertion point.
