hi Frank,

the way i usually work through the classes is by typing (into an Xcode editor) the name of the class (in your case NSTextField) then i cmd-doubleclick the name and it opens the class' header file. then i cmd-f to search for something that might sound usefull, like "string" in your case...this will find return values as well as parts of the selector (keep in mind that cmd-g will speed up the search). If i don't find anything i just cmd-doubleclick the superclass that is written in the class-declaration and repeat there.... if i don't find anything i try the Xcode documentation (option-click some class or selector) and search using full-text search. the last alternative is the net ;-)

Kind Regards
Karsten

stringValue is not only useful for NSTextField, but also for buttons
and other controls. So, yes, it is logical to have it available in
NSControl.

Thanks Andreas, that is a logical

Setters and getters are always grouped together, I think. Not that
difficult a concept to remember.

It's not once you've seen it, but if you've never seen it before it is kind
of strange. However no big deal.


Thanks for your help
