Hi
I found in xcode “user defined runtime attributes”
For a window, if i put in this area : backgroundColor and set for example in black
The background of my window came black when the aplication is running
I tried to change the color of a textfiel with this method but doesn’t work
Do you know how to use this parameter ?
Thanks
Regards
Christophe
Are you doing this in interface builder?
There is no user defined attribute for a text field
In inspector panel in IB there is a attribute for the
The text field for the background colour.
To do this programmatically you’ll need to create
An IBOutlet NSTextfield property in your class.
Create (Drag) an Blue Object into your IB.
Assign it’s class to your class. Then in the Outlets panel
Connect that to your textfield.
Then in your class you can set you instance textField
Properties background colour.

You may also have to set its drawsBackgroundColor property to true
