Hi,
could you send me your project off list? I will check it and let you
know what's wrong. (If I find it of course)

The button is OK.
I found that I could get the button to work by entering the Return key
equivalent in IB, stubbing out awakeFromNib. However, the
*appearance* of
the button is still non-default.
Also, Hillegass instructs to set up the FirstResponder of the window
to
point to the textField. I had done that earlier and thought that it
might
be interefing so I eliminated it along with the entire textField in
IB, then
made a new textField without messing with FirstResponder. I found
that the
textField behaves just as though the FirstResponder still existed
(perhaps
this is a new default behavior with a single textField). The button
appearance was not fixed.
So, right now, the button works as though it were the default
(thanks to the
IB key equivalent field) but it does not *look* like a default
button. I
searched again for some difference in what I did vs. what the
BackgroundExporter code looks like and cannot find any real
differences.
Moreover, the debugger behaves as though all it well -- no errors,
no nil
outlets.
BTW, all of this is with Xcode 3.0 and OS 10.5.2.

As a Cocoa newbie (after years of Carbon), I am working my way

3rd edition of Hillegass' book. I finished his SpeakLine example

thought I'd challenge myself by making the Speak button the default
button
-- but failed.
I coded the following
*** AppController.h
@interface AppController : NSObject {
IBOutlet NSTextField *textField;
NSSpeechSynthesizer *speechSynth;
IBOutlet NSView *windView; <-- content view, added
IBOutlet NSButton *speakButton; <-- added
}
- (IBAction)sayIt:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)stopIt:(id)sender;
@end
*** added to AppController.m
- (void)awakeFromNib {
[[speakButton window] setDefaultButtonCell:[speakButton cell]];
// debugging
NSButtonCell *def = nil;
def = [[speakButton window] defaultButtonCell];
}
I made the connections in IB to both windView and speakButton and
they look
OK (compared to those in Apple's BackgroundExporter sample code. I
tried
using the content view as well as the button itself to get the
window.
Neither works. My button is not blue or pulsing and the Return key
does
nothing. The def variable *does* get the correct result (judging by
self
variables). Using windView to get the window does not help.
