I cannot find a simple example of how to use an NSTextField to edit it's contents in place.
Exactly like in the Finder - you're able to click, and with a short delay the text field becomes editable.
It seems like it's some combination of the textField, it's cell, and the fieldEditor? Problem is I can't find the most basic example of how to do it.
I've tried subclassing NSTextField with a couple different tests but it hasn't worked:
#import "GWTextField.h"
@implementation GWTextField
- (id) initWithFrame:(NSRect)frameRect {
self = [super initWithFrame:frameRect];
return self;
}
- (void) mouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
[super mouseDown:theEvent];
[self.cell editWithFrame:self.frame inView:self.superview editor:[self.cell fieldEditorForView:self] delegate:self event:theEvent];
//[self setEditable:TRUE];
//[self setSelectable:TRUE];
//[self selectText:nil];
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:.3 target:self selector:@selector(edit:) userInfo:nil repeats:FALSE];
}
- (void) edit:(id) sende {
NSLog(@"edit");
[[NSApplication sharedApplication].mainWindow makeFirstResponder:self];
[self selectText:nil];
}
@end
Any ideas?
I came up with a better solution to the edit in place problem. I believe this is how to properly do edit in place with NSCell. Please show and tell if this is wrong.
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
@interface EditTextField : NSTextField <NSTextDelegate>
@end

#import "EditTextField.h"
@implementation EditTextField
- (void) mouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
if(theEvent.clickCount == 2) {
self.editable = TRUE;
NSText * fieldEditor = [self.window fieldEditor:TRUE forObject:self];
[self.cell editWithFrame:self.bounds inView:self editor:fieldEditor delegate:self event:theEvent];
} else {
[super mouseDown:theEvent];
}
}
- (void) cancelOperation:(id)sender {
[self.cell endEditing:nil];
self.editable = FALSE;
}
- (BOOL) textView:(NSTextView *) textView doCommandBySelector:(SEL) commandSelector {
NSString * selector = NSStringFromSelector(commandSelector);
if([selector isEqualToString:@"insertNewline:"]) {
NSText * fieldEditor = [self.window fieldEditor:TRUE forObject:self];
[self.cell endEditing:fieldEditor];
self.editable = FALSE;
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
@end
