I haven’t looked at your code, but why not use a nil placeholder value when binding? Pass an options dictionary with a key / value pair of NSNullPlaceholderBindingOption / <the value you want to use when nil> to the -bind:… method, or specify the value for the nil placeholder in the nib. Something like:
[datePicker bind: NSValueBinding toObject: self withKeyPath: @“myDate" options: @{ NSNullPlaceholderBindingOption, [NSDate futureDate] }]; Hope that helps... —Rob > On May 15, 2014, at 2:47 PM, Jonathan Mitchell <jonat...@mugginsoft.com> > wrote: > > NSDatePicker cannot display or bind to a nil dateValue so I have put together > something that might be of use when binding to NSDate instances that might be > nil. > > https://github.com/ThesaurusSoftware/TFDatePicker > > Subclassing NSDatePickerCell is made difficult because NSDatePickerCell does > not call - (void)drawInteriorWithFrame:(NSRect)cellFrame inView:(NSView > *)controlView to draw its interior. > I therefore obscure the controls persistent dateValue by setting the fore and > background colours equal. > > If anyone can think of a better approach I would be glad to hear it. > > Jonathan > > > > > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) > > Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. > Contact the moderators at cocoa-dev-admins(at)lists.apple.com > > Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: > https://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/petrock%40mac.com > > This email sent to petr...@mac.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
