I'd say the field editor is the problem. NSCell provides
setAttributedStringValue: and I assume stores and displays that value
as well as reacting to clicks when not editing. Once you begin
editing the firstResponder is set to the field editor and your
textfield becomes its delegate, so for all intents and purposes the z-
order has changed. So at this point you need to deal with the field
editor using the delegate methods. I'd say
textView:clickedOnCell:inRect:atIndex: and friends looks promising
(of course you'll need to subclass NSTextField). your other option
would be to implement a custom field editor, but I think this would
probably end up being a lot more work.
Hope this helps,
->Ben

i've created a NSTextView and placed one or more NSTextAttachment

NSTextAttachment in a NSTextField via:
[textField setAttributedStringValue:[NSAttributedString
attributedStringWithAttachment:attachment]];
it doesn't behave at all like the NSTextView. well let me extrapolate
.... it behaves the same as textview in that if i DON'T click into the
TextField but do click on the control it works fine. if i however
click into the textfield first, the control associated with the
attachment doesn't receive any mouse events after that and it's almost
as if it's not sitting in the same z-order as it is when it's in the
textview. i was wondering if anyone knew what was happening here? is
the FieldEditor getting placed above it when mousedown is performed in
the text field? is there any magic i can do to reorder it so that the
embedded control can get mouse events?
