NSTokenField with both non-editable and editable tokens


  • Subject: NSTokenField with both non-editable and editable tokens

I'd like to be able to type in text and drag readonly elements (tokens) into a NSTokenField to create a custumizable string format. Like in Apple iWorks Numers' customize cell format. The user can drag readonly NSTokenCells into a NSTokenTextField (remaining NSRoundedTokenStyle) and type in plain text (remaining NSPlainTextTokenStyle). I Subclassed NSTokenFieldCell to a claas FormatToken so that I can filter out plain text tokens and my FormatToken by using isKindOfClass: [FormatToken class] (see code below). I'm able to add my predefined token showing up as a RoundedTokens and add plan text showing up as PlainTextTokens. The problem is that when I double click the FormatToken token, NSTokenField jumps to the editing mode and makes it a normal plain text string. My FormatToken is being replaced by a NSTokenFieldCell and remains displayed as NSPlainTextTokenStyle. I did set the setEditable:NO for my FormatToken but it seems when the NSTokenField is editable, all the Cell are forced editable. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

- (NSString *)tokenField:(NSTokenField *)tokenField displayStringForRepresentedObject:(id)representedObject{

	NSString * string;

	if ([representedObject isKindOfClass: [FormatToken class]]) {

	FormatToken * token = representedObject;

	string = [token text];

	} else

		string = representedObject;

	return string;

}


- (NSTokenStyle)tokenField:(NSTokenField *)tokenField styleForRepresentedObject:(id)representedObject{


	if ([representedObject isKindOfClass: [FormatToken class]])

		return NSRoundedTokenStyle;

	else return NSPlainTextTokenStyle;

}


- (IBAction)addReadOnlyFromatToken: (id)sender;{

SMutableArray * array = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:[tokens objectValue]];

	FormatToken * token = [[FormatToken alloc] init];
	[token setText: @"Readonly Token"];

	[token setEditable: NO]

	[array addObject:token];

	[tokens setObjectValue: array];

}
