NSSlider Targeting Several NSTextFields, Identifying an NSTextField


  • Subject: NSSlider Targeting Several NSTextFields, Identifying an NSTextField

I simply want to use a NSSlider to manipulate several NSTextFields.
But, each NSText field has a different range of values, so NSSlider's
attributes must change depending upon selected NSTextField.  Specifics
below:

I want to create an NSDate String with the GMT format.  Each
NSTextField represents one of these strings: (1)Year, (2)Month,
(3)Day, (4)Hour, (5)Minute, (6)Seconds and (7)GMT offset.  After the
strings are created using one NSSlider and tabbing across seven
NSTextFields, I will append them into one string.

But to get this to work, I must know what NSTextField is selected.
When I know that, I can then set the NSSlider attributes, so the
NSSlider can increment in days, months, seconds, etc.


I have created an IBAction for the NSSlider. It calls this method below. I have all the IBOutlets in Interface Builder connected with the interface of my panellController class.

Here is where I am at.  Any ideas why I can get the correct pre-set
value of the NSTextField, but I cannot get the tag although I have set
it?  Without the tag, I cannot know the selected NSTextField, so then
off course the if statements won't be useful.

- (IBAction)scrollTextField:(id)sender
{
	[gmt setTag:7];
	[seconds setTag:6];
	[minutes setTag:5];
	[hours setTag:4];
	[day setTag:3];
	[month setTag:2];
	[year setTag:1];

	NSTextField *field = [[[self window] firstResponder] delegate];
	NSLog(@"field:  %i", [field intValue]);

	int tag = [field tag];
	NSLog(@"field tag:  %i", tag);

// I'm only getting tag that are equal to zero, accept for the gmt.
It's the only one that gets a value, but only when it's correlating
cell is selected.

	if ( tag == 7 )
	{
		NSLog(@"gmtOffset");

		[sender setAltIncrementValue:100];
		[sender setMaxValue:1200];
		[sender setMinValue:-1100];
		[sender setNumberOfTickMarks:24];

		[self setgmt:[sender stringValue]];
	}

	if ( tag == 6 )
	{
		NSLog(@"seconds");

		[sender setAltIncrementValue:1];
		[sender setMaxValue:59];
		[sender setMinValue:0];
		[sender setNumberOfTickMarks:60];

		[self setSeconds:[sender stringValue]];
	}

	if ( tag == 5 )
	{
		NSLog(@"minutes");

		[sender setAltIncrementValue:1];
		[sender setMaxValue:59];
		[sender setMinValue:0];
		[sender setNumberOfTickMarks:60];

		[self setMinutes:[sender stringValue]];
	}

	if ( tag == 4 )
	{
		NSLog(@"hours");

		[sender setAltIncrementValue:1];
		[sender setMaxValue:23];
		[sender setMinValue:0];
		[sender setNumberOfTickMarks:24];

		[self setHours:[sender stringValue]];
	}

	if ( tag == 3 )
	{
		NSLog(@"day");

		[sender setAltIncrementValue:1];
		[sender setMaxValue:31];
		[sender setMinValue:1];
		[sender setNumberOfTickMarks:31];

		[self setDay:[sender stringValue]];
	}

	if ( tag == 2 )
	{
		NSLog(@"month");

		[sender setAltIncrementValue:1];
		[sender setMaxValue:12];
		[sender setMinValue:1];
		[sender setNumberOfTickMarks:12];

		[self setMonth:[sender stringValue]];
	}

	if ( tag == 1 )
	{
		NSLog(@"year");

		[sender setAltIncrementValue:1];
		[sender setMaxValue:2009];
		[sender setMinValue:2019];
		[sender setNumberOfTickMarks:10];

		[self setYear:[sender stringValue]];
	}
}
