NSTextField: How to DEselect text?

Subject: NSTextField: How to DEselect text?
From: Jerry Krinock <email@hidden>

I'd like to pre-place some text into an NSTextField, and then give it focus (make it firstResponder) and immediately allow the user type in additional text, concatenating it.

Unfortunately, when I make the field firstResponder, my pre-placed text is selected, and when the user starts typing, it gets overwritten. Very annoying.

Does anyone know how to deselect text in an NSTextField?

NSTextField has a selectText:(id)sender method but no deselectText: method.

I've tried sending -setStringValue:, -makeFirstResponder: and - endEditingFor: in various different orders and combinations, but nothing works.

Thanks,

Jerry Krinock
