NSTextField selecting

[djohnson]

Anyone know how to select a NSTextField? Basically I need the cursor to go back to a specific field if something happens. Thanks!

Try - (void)selectText:(id)sender (I haven't tried but thats the closest thing I found from apples site)

I found that, but could not get it to work yesterday... Also, I found a way to select a Cell, but I could not figure out how to get the cell information from the NSTextField.

If I read your question right (which is iffy, given how little sleep I've had lately):

You want the keyboard focus to go to a particular text field and for the text to be selected. You'll have to do a two step process - 1) call - (BOOL) becomeFirstResponder on the text filed, then call - (void) selectText: as the poster above points out.

[aTextField becomeFirstResponder];
[aTextField selectText:sender];

and you're done.

Thank you!!! :D

For those that need this, change sender to self and it works. :)
