The selector is misleadingly named. What I would try (i.e. I have not tested this), is one of: [[alert window] makeFirstResponder:myTextField]; [[alert window] setInitialFirstResponder:myTextField]; (I'm not clear on the life cycle for the NSAlert's -window object, so I don't know whether you can actually get at it to set its initial first responder before it's displayed.) -- Conrad Shultz Synthetiq Solutions www.synthetiqsolutions.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
