Hi all,
I have seen this issue come up a lot, but there isn't much information on
how to receive unicode input in a NSView.
(I know we are supposed to just type in a NSTextField but that is impossible
in our situation where the app must run stand-alone and as a browser
plugin).
we used to call interpretKeyEvents in the keyDown handler and the InsertText
handler would get the unicode string, I guess this stopped working with a
system update a while back.
Now i think there are 2 ways to do this:
1) subclass nsview and make it conform to the NSTextInputClient protocol
i have been picking away at this, i added the NSTextInputClient handlers but
they aren't being called. a working example or a pointer would help if
anyone has done this.
2) use a fake NSTextField and try to use that for gathering the unicode as
it arrives.
I have seen someone recommend NSWindow fieldEditor:forObject: to do this.
This sounds pretty bad and i have a lot of uncertainty as to how to make
this work right.
So do you guys have a recommendation here?
thanks in advance
