Thanks. Unfortunately, that is not quite the desired behavior as it causes all of the text to be selected and I want to see the blinking cursor. It did begin a text editing session though, so it is quite close.

[myTextField selectText:nil]; [[[myTextField window] fieldEditor:NO forObject:_textField2] setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0)];

Excellent!

I wasn't sure what _textField2 was supposed to refer to exactly, so I tried this instead:

[[textField currentEditor] setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0)];

and it worked.

Now, I just need to figure out, based on the location stored in the NSEvent for the mouse click, where to correctly set the selection.
