I thought I found a good workaround. -setUpFieldEditorAttributes: is, in
fact, called whenever editing begins. However, it doesn't seem to work.
I tried this:
-(NSText*) setUpFieldEditorAttributes:(NSText*)textObj {
[textObj setString:@"This is a test"];
return textObj;
}
My code was definitely being called. But the field editor didn't change
its contents! "This is a test" never appeared.
:(
How is Xcode managing this trick??

I'm trying to set up a custom field editor for an NSOutlineView. When
it displays, its contents are not necessarily the same as the cell
being displayed by the outline view. For instance, consider the Xcode
project settings dialog—it has a table that displays stuff like:
Build Location /Volumes/MyDrive/MyFolder
But when you go to edit it, it changes to
Build Location $(BUILD_LOC)
I'm basically trying to do something similar to that. So how is this
done?
If it matters, I'm beginning the edit session programmatically (in
this case, in response to a menu selection). I suppose in this case I
might be able to get away with changing the cell's string just before
the edit begins, and change it back as soon as the edit completes, but
that's pretty hokey; I think it would be a cleaner solution to just
put the appropriate text in the field editor and leave the cell's
string alone. I just can't manage to make it work though.
I've tried using the delegate method -control:textShouldBeginEditing:
but this was a total bust; it's not called until the user begins typing.
I've also tried adding -editWithFrame:inView:editor:delegate:event: to
my NSCell subclass but this did not seem to ever be called, strangely.
(I did notice that -selectWithFrame:inView:… etc. /is/ being called,
but that is probably because I am using "select:YES" in my call to
-editColumn:row:withEvent:select:.)
