nstextfield

I have a label ( NSTextField ) with text aligned right. When the text becomes too large to display, the end of the text is truncated (at the right edge of the label). In my case I would actually want to truncate the beginning of the text. How can I achieve this in the Interface Builder or in code? Now | This sentence is to | Desired | entence is too long | I'm not quite sure if this works for NSTextFields, I know it does for UILabels, but have you tried : myTextField.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByTruncatingHead What you're looking for is [[myTextField cell] setLineBreakMode:

I have many NSTextFields and I want to know, if the user has pressed one of the arrow keys while editing one of them. The function override func keyDown(theEvent: NSEvent) { switch theEvent.character { case NSRightArrowFunctionKey: println(1) moveGor(NSRightArrowFunctionKey) case NSLeftArrowFunctionKey: moveGor(NSLeftArrowFunctionKey) case NSUpArrowFunctionKey: moveVert(NSUpArrowFunctionKey) case NSDownArrowFunctionKey: moveVert(NSDownArrowFunctionKey) default: super.keyDown(theEvent) } } doesn't seem to work. Is there any other way to do that in swift? EDIT: I have the extension for NSEvent :

I am currently making an OS X application written in Swift. What I want to do is when the user enters text in a NSTextField , I want to run a function that checks the value and adds it to a Label. How would I do this in swift? Conforms ViewController to protocol NSTextDelegate . Assign ViewController as Delegate for TextField . Implement controlTextDidChange method. import Cocoa @NSApplicationMain class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate, NSTextFieldDelegate { @IBOutlet weak var window: NSWindow! @IBOutlet weak var textField: NSTextField! @IBOutlet weak var label: NSTextField! func

I'm pulling hairs here. I have an NSTextField created on a xib that has an intrinsicContentSize adjusted to it's stringValue. If I create a textField programmatically like so: _textfield = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero]; _textfield.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO; _textfield.alignment = NSCenterTextAlignment; _textfield.drawsBackground = NO; [_textfield setBordered:NO]; _textfiled.stringValue = @"Test" It's intrinsicContentSize is always (width=-1, height=16) I've tried calling invalidateIntrinsicContentSize but to no avail… How does one get NSTextField's

It seems to be commonly accepted that cellSizeForBounds: allows one to calculate a text field's "natural" size. However, for NSTextField, I've found that it doesn't quite match: @interface MyTextField : NSTextField @end @implementation MyTextField - (void)textDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification { [super textDidChange:notification]; [self validateEditing]; // Forces updating from the field editor NSSize cellSize = [self.cell cellSizeForBounds: NSMakeRect(0, 0, self.bounds.size.width, CGFLOAT_MAX)]; NSRect frame = self.frame; CGFloat heightDelta = cellSize.height - frame.size.height; frame
