Re: NSTextField subclass needs cell subclass as well - how?

Hi, I've set the cellClass in the +load() method (on the textfield subclass) using setCellClass under mavericks. If memory serves me right, it set the cell in yosemite as well. I was however, creating my cells in code as well. If you are coding in objective-c, then you might be able to set it the
