I have a custom view with an NSButtonCell in it, and I want to
support inline editing of its title when the user double clicks the
button cell (or chooses "Rename" from context menu). How can I do it?
I've found the following method of NSCell class:
- (void)editWithFrame:(NSRect)aRect inView:(NSView *)controlView
editor:(NSText *)textObj delegate:(id)anObject event:(NSEvent *)theEvent
But the documentation says, "If the receiver isn’t a text-type NSCell
object, no editing is performed". That's what I see in my case: after
I say
NSTextView* editor = [[NSTextView alloc] initWithFrame: frame];
[m_buttonCell editWithFrame: frame inView: view editor: editor
delegate: self event: event];
a white edit field covers my button cell, but it is not editable.
Even if I type something, nothing changes on the screen, and after I
press Enter, in textDidEndEditing method of my delegate class, I
receive the original title, not what I typed. textDidBeginEditing and
textDidChange methods of my delegate class are never called.
My question is: is there a trick to make button cell's title editable
just like it can be done for text cells? If no, is there anything
less sophisticated than creating an NSTextField control manually at
run-time, positioning it over the button cell, and removing it (from
screen and from memory) when user input is done?
Thanks in advance for any hint,
Best regards,
Sergey Shapovalov._______________________________________________
