When reopening a Cocoa class, you should not overwrite initialize and if you were to do it anyway, don't forget to call super and to return self. The Cocoa way is to create your own initializer to end up with something like DuplicateCounterTextField.alloc.initWithDuplicate Also, remember that when initializing a Cocoa class, you need to do DuplicateCounterTextField.alloc.init - Matt On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 3:20 PM, steve ross <cwdinfo@gmail.com> wrote:
I'm sure this is an elementary question, but I have the class below. In IB, I set several NSTextField controls to this class. Everything works in the blah, blah, blah part, but strangely enough the
puts "initialize dctf"
never seems to be called. Any thoughts as to why?
require 'strings'
class DuplicateCounterTextField < NSTextField include Strings
attr_accessor :splitter, :completions attr_accessor :wordCount, :duplicateCount
def initialize puts "initialize dctf" @splitter = /\W+/ @wordCount = 0 @cachedWordCount = 0 @duplicateCount = 0 end
# blah, blah, blah working code
def textDidChange(notification) words = stringValue.split(@splitter) @wordCount = words.length @duplicateCount = @wordCount - words.uniq.length
if delegate.respond_to?('controlCountDidChange:wordCount:duplicateCount:') delegate.controlCountDidChange(self, wordCount:@wordCount, duplicateCount:@duplicateCount) end end
