CPTextField textDidChange: delegate functionality
Reported by Nick Takayama | October 12th, 2008 @ 03:40 PM
CPTextField doesn't currently support delegates or any of the delegate methods used by NSTextField. I've implemented delegate:, setDelegate: and added the appropriate bits of code in order to get CPTextField firing controlTextDidChange: events to its delegate.
Have implemented using CPNotificationCenter, and now provide textDidBeginEditing and textDidEndEditing delegate methods

updated to use CPNotificationCenter instead of a direct delegate call

new patch to fix style issues that boucher pointed out.
boucher had some questions about the delegate methods in CPControl. For the most part I based my code on that found on cocotron, and there were a couple of aspects to the delegate methods (eg textDidChange:) that had no obvious purpose:
//this looks to prevent false propagation of notifications for other objects if([note object] != self) return;this block, as in my comment, is possibly to prevent this method from being used to fire textDidChange for other objects... I have no idea why this would occur. I left it in just in case.
[[CPNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:CPControlTextDidChangeNotification object:self userInfo:[CPDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[note object] forKey:@"CPFieldEditor"]];the question was 'why are we rebundling the notification?'. This is a fair question, and my best guess is that it is to ensure that all textDidChange, textDidBeginEditing and textDidEndEditing notifications are formatted properly without any additional information. This might be to allow some kind of lazy re-use of other notification objects.
For example, a control subclass might have the following code:
var note = [CPNotification notificationWithName:MyCustomNotificationName object:self userInfo:nil]; [self textDidBeginEditing:note]; //now I can trigger my own notification using the same object [[CPNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotification:note];Sorry for the long explanation. That's the best I can do to explain the code as it is. Quite happy to rewrite if necessary!
