Re: Editing NSCell Text In NSView With Mouse Down Event

Hi,

I've had a look at the docs for NSTextField it doesn't have a '- drawAtPosition' type method. When I'm drawing on the NSView I want to be able to place editable text at different positions. I only think it is possible to predefine where a NSTextField should be drawn; using Gorm, and then subsequently change the values. I should have made that clear.

I am drawing strings containing numbers. They are axis tic mark labels for a plotting programme. This is why I would like this editable functionality.

Cheers,

Dan

Hello.

I am drawing a NSCell in a NSView subclass using,

    NSCell *cell = [[NSCell alloc] initTextCell:@"NSCell"];
    [cell setStringValue:@"blahh blahh"];

I now want the user to be able to edit the next by clicking it with the
mouse. When the editing is finished I then want to extract the new
value. I have tried using,

    [cell setEnabled:YES];
    [cell setSelectable:YES];
    [cell setEditable:YES];.

However, this did not appear to do anything. I assume that I need to
tell the NSCell exactly how to repond to the mouse. How do I do this? I
have found,

    -editWithFrame: inView: editor: delegate: event:

in the GNUstep documentation but I'm unsure on how to start using it.


Why aren't you using a NSTextField here. Most likely this is what you
are looking for. If you want to stick with a bacic NSCell then you will have to use your own NSControl subclass and change the method mouseDown: for it. Again you should have a look at NSTextField to see what you need
to do.

Hope this helps,
Fred
