Re: Ending Editing when Doc Saves?

This is the approach I ended up taking:

// in MyDocument.m
- (void) saveDocument:(id)sender {
   [[self windowControllers] 
makeObjectsPerformSelector:@selector(myPrepareToSave:)];
   [super saveDocument:sender];
}

// in MyWindow.m
- (void) myPrepareToSave:(id)sender {
   [[self window] makeFirstResponder:[self window]];
}

I couldn't find a more general save operation to modify in MyDocument, 
so I modified both saveDocument, and saveDocumentAs.  I can modify 
others later if needed.  I was thinking there might be something like 
(BOOL) shouldSaveDocument, but I didn't see it.

The myPrepareToSave method in MyWindow allowed me to experiment with 
the commitEditing method.  I tried sending it to either my 
NSWindowController or to the NSArrayController which is bound to the 
NSCollectionView which contains the NSTextField that needed to end 
editing.  Neither approach worked, so I stuck with using 
makeFirstResponder.
