I have an outline view set up and when the user starts editing one of the cells I want to know which cell they are editing. I over-rode

-(void)textDidChange:(NSNotifi *)not

in my outline view subclass, but the notification object is the outline view, not the NSTextFieldCell.

Any suggestions?


(p.s. thanks for all of the previous help)

1st Suggestion: RTFM.

2nd Suggestion ( ):

Try

Code:
outlineView:shouldEditTableColumn:item:

- (BOOL)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView shouldEditTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn item:(id)item

Returns YES to permit outlineView to edit the cell specified by tableColumn and item, NO to deny permission. The delegate can implement this method to disallow editing of specific cells.

Hmm, not very good with acronyms.

I think maybe I posted my question wrong. I want to autocomplete text as the user types it into the cell in the outline view. To do this I figure I need to set the delegate of the NSTextFieldCell, but textfield-cell doesn't have a set delegate method. Perhaps I need to subclass a NSTextFieldCell and/or NSControl?

Instead of a delegate, try using setTarget: and setAction:.

But won't the action only get called when it ends editing? I want some method to get called everytime the user presses a key.
