Re: NSTextView setStringValue not Visible

Hello Folks,
I'm working on my first Cocoa project - and pulling my hair out on this one.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm writing a System Preference. During my mainViewDidLoad, I'm trying to
set the text of a local TextField by doing a

      [theTextField setStringValue:@"test"];

similar to the example at
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFPreferences/Tasks/UsingHighAPI.html
in
the mainViewDidLoad method.


The text never appears until later if I call setStringValue after I show
another sheet within the preference pane — then it appears. I'm NSLogging to
make sure mainViewDidLoad was being called - it was.

I've tried changing from mainViewDidLoad to willSelect, didSelect etc
thinking maybe it had to do with the timing that I was calling
setStringValue... No luck with any of them.

Can anyone give me an idea of what I might be able to try?  Thanks.

Joe

OK I figured out what was wrong based on a prior lists post from 2002!

The correct answer is change the class of the File's Owner to my subclass of
NSPrefPane then make connections to that.
