Notifications in modal loops

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi all,

I have a custom panel with some textfields that I would like to run 
modal.

- (NSPrintInfo *)runForFile:(NSString *)path numberOfPages:(int)pages
{
  // Setting up the ui elements
   [fromField setDelegate:self];
   [toField setDelegate:self];
   if ([NSApp runModalForWindow:mainWin] == NSRunStoppedResponse)
     {
        // do something useful
     }
   else return nil;
}

- (void)textDidChange:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
   NSLog(@"textDidChange...");
   // do something useful
}

The problem is that the delegate method textDidChange: is not called 
while the panel is displayed (when entering text in the text fields). 
Any idea why? I suppose that has to do with the modal loop and would 
most likely work if I did not use runModalForWindow: but [mainWin 
orderFront:]. But I want this dialog to be modal.

What can I do?

Thanks,

  Andreas
