I would like to customize how errors in controls like NSTextField are presented. The documentation for NSResponder recommends overriding -willPresentError: in order to customize error presentation. However, that doesn't let me customize *how* the error will be presented to the user. I am unhappy with the alerts because they interfere with the interaction by demanding immediate user attention.
For NSTextFields, for example, I would like to experiment with presenting errors by changing the text field's text color, background color, or focus ring color and maybe showing an icon inside the text field, and maybe something else, too. Whatever invalid data should remain visible in the text field for later editing, and only valid data should be passed on to the model. Committing changes should be possible when no control has errors. What is the best way of achieving that? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
