Yup you got it. I actually tracked down an Apple doc in regards to that last evening.
I did go ahead and set it up correctly in awakeFromNib as follows: // DUE to NSBrowser bug in regards to its implementation // of acceptsFirstResponder, forcibly load it and then // make it the first responder [ midiInBrowser loadColumnZero ]; [ [ selfwindow ] makeFirstResponder: midiInBrowser ]; I did have a bit of a research project in that setInitialResponder did not result in desired behavior but makeFirstResponder did. From the little bit I could glean from setInitialResponder it seems like this call merely "caches" an NSResponder to be set via makeFirstResponder at a later date. Given that, I can only assume that within awakeFromNib, I'd passed the "later date" where setInitialResponder could "cache" usefully. Always a learning experience. :) Cheers, --aj ________________________________ From: Corbin Dunn <corb...@apple.com> To: Andrew James <andrew_a_ja...@yahoo.com> Cc: list-cocoa-dev <cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com> Sent: Thu, March 18, 2010 7:40:06 AM Subject: Re: NSBrowser and tab order Aj -- I believe this was a bug fixed in 10.6; maybe 10.5. What OS are you on? The work around is to set it up in awakeFromNib. corbin On Mar 18, 2010, at 1:15 AM, Andrew James wrote: > I have a nib file set up in Interface Builder with a window containing a > single NSBrowser. > > I have set the NSBrowser as the window's initialFirstResponder... but for > some reason when the window is displayed the NSBrowser does not receive > keyboard focus and will not receive keyboard focus until I click on it. > > I'm hoping I'm missing something trivially easy. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
