currentEditor()

Returns the current field editor for the control.

Declaration

func currentEditor() -> NSText?

Return Value

The field editor for the current control, or nil if the receiver does not have a field editor.

Discussion

When the receiver is a control displaying editable text (for example, a text field) and it is the first responder, it has a field editor, which is returned by this method. The field editor is a single NSTextView object that is shared among all the controls in a window for light text-editing needs. It is automatically instantiated when needed.
