Use NSNumberFormatter as correctly suggested. You can set its -positiveSuffix: string to "Days" and that's it. You're done.

I did not try the formatter methods but can't figure out a way to make it work either. None of these methods seem to get called if the text field is still in focus and the value is still highlighted. Now if I would tab to another text field it's no problem because mouseDown will get called again. But with only clicking Enter and immediately trying to edit again by clicking with the mouse (while the value is still highlighted) nothing seems to get called. What am I missing here? Thanks,

>>> I might be getting sleepy and overlooking the obvious, but I have a panel with a few text fields and I'm trying to figure out what gets called after entering a value into a text field and while it's still highlighted clicking it again? In my case when entering a value into one of my text fields (let's say "30") I append a string to that value (let's say "Days"). I do this in the action method. In my subclass in mouseDown I make it where if the value is "30 Days" when clicking the text field I will remove the "Days" so the user can easily edit only the "30" and I append the "Days" once again in the action method. My problem is after clicking Enter for that text field if the user would try to edit it again without that text field ever losing focus the "Days" is not removed because mouseDown doesn't get called. And I haven't been able to figure out what does get called in this situation? Thanks,
