I want to write a configuration tool in Java using the Java-Cocoa-Bridge
by hand(Without XCode and InterfaceBuilder).
The reason is that I just want to learn how can I myself imagine the mechanism of the interface builder.
Therefore I've got just a simple question.
I have added a NSTextField on my NSWindow and just want to edit it.
The typed characters only occur on my terminal shell but not in the NSTextField self. Does anybody has an idea what to do.
But please, don't answer that I should use InterfaceBuilder instead
to make that in less than one minute available.

I'm waiting for help,
mami

I'm not quite sure I understand your question, but I assume you added the text field to the window in your code, not in IB.

Can you click in the text field and then type in it?

If so, then it sounds like you just need to set the FirstResponder to the text field so the focus initially goes there.

If not, then I think you need to provide more details on how you are reading the text input and how you added the text field.

Yes, I can click in the TextField. But when I type all the characters occur in the terminal shell where I have started my application.
I also made the TextField as the first responder: "myWindow.makeFirstResponder(myTextField);"
I tried the same with "setInitialFirstResponder".
To your question how I have added the TextField to the window:
"MyWindow.contentView().addSubview(MyTextFIeld );".
The last thing I have tried is that I have called the
"MYTextField.setAction(new NSSelector("MyTextMethod", new Class [] {Object.class}))";
But the method "MyTextMethod" has never been reached.
I have tried the same with a NSButton and everything was o.k. .
