I'm trying to figure out which NSTextField in my window is currently being edited; this is from a callback function and I don't want to drastically rearchitect the window's code to constantly keep track of what the user is doing.

I've found that [myWindow firstResponder] returns the field editor, an NSTextView, instead of the window's NSTextField. This makes sense to me, but I can't figure out how to turn this information back into my NSTextField object. I also can't figure out any other way to figure out who owns the field editor, or what is currently being edited.

The field editor's delegate should be the control being edited.
