select(withFrame:in:editor:delegate:start:length:)

Selects the specified text range in the cell’s field editor.

Declaration

func select(withFrame rect: NSRect, in controlView: NSView, editor textObj: NSText, delegate: Any?, start selStart: Int, length selLength: Int)

Parameters

  • rect:

    The bounding rectangle of the cell.

  • controlView:

    The control that manages the cell.

  • textObj:

    The field editor to use for editing the cell.

  • delegate:

    The object to use as a delegate for the field editor (textObj parameter). This delegate object receives various NSText delegation and notification methods during the course of editing the cell’s contents.

  • selStart:

    The start of the text selection.

  • selLength:

    The length of the text range.

Discussion

This method is similar to edit(withFrame:in:editor:delegate:event:), except that it can be invoked in any situation, not only on a mouse-down event. This method returns without doing anything if controlView, textObj, or the receiver is nil, or if the receiver has no font set for it.
