Sorry I should have said a little more about my context. I'm looking at the object passed to the delegate method -control:isValidObject:
Documentation states: "In validating, the delegate should check the value in the object parameter…" I am however unable to assess the value since it is being rep'd by an impenetrable class clustered object.
