As pointed out by a sharper reader than I, these methods would change the behavior of these fields to always updating on each change. If you're looking for a method that would preserve the behavior of changes only sent when exiting the field (tab, enter) or when the window is closed (or similar event), I'd recommend the approach in the TextEdit sample's Preferences class: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/TextEdit/Listings/Preferences_m.html Particularly, the -[Preferences windowShouldClose:] method, where you set the window's firstResponder to nil. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
