I have the same problem mentioned here : Not being able to edit NSTextField on NSPopover even though Editable behavior is set. The solution seems to be to override the canBecomeKeyWindow of NSWindow. I am trying to do the same thing in PyObjC, but I am getting an error Python signature doesn't match implied objective-C signature
.
In the following code, if I comment out canBecomeKeyWindow_(), then the app runs as expected, but I am not able to click and edit the textfields.
# from Cocoa import *
from AppKit import NSWindowController, NSApplication, NSApp, NSMaxYEdge, NSImage, NSStatusBar, NSMenu, NSMenuItem, NSVariableStatusItemLength, NSRect

from PyObjCTools import AppHelper

class TestApp(NSApplication):
def finishLaunching(self):
# Make statusbar item
statusbar = NSStatusBar.systemStatusBar()
self.statusitem = statusbar.statusItemWithLength_(NSVariableStatusItemLength)
self.icon = NSImage.alloc().initByReferencingFile_('app-icon.png')
self.icon.setScalesWhenResized_(True)
self.icon.setSize_((20, 20))
self.statusitem.setImage_(self.icon)
self.statusitem.setHighlightMode_(1)
# make the menu
self.menubarMenu = NSMenu.alloc().init()
self.menuItem = NSMenuItem.alloc().initWithTitle_action_keyEquivalent_('Login', 'loginCallback:', '')
self.menubarMenu.addItem_(self.menuItem)
self.quit = NSMenuItem.alloc().initWithTitle_action_keyEquivalent_('Quit', 'terminate:', '')
self.menubarMenu.addItem_(self.quit)
# add menu to statusitem
self.statusitem.setMenu_(self.menubarMenu)
def loginCallback_(self, notification):
# Initiate the contrller with a XIB
viewController = SimpleXibDemoController.alloc().initWithWindowNibName_("Login")
# Show the window
viewController.showWindow_(viewController)
rect = self.statusitem.valueForKey_('button').frame()
viewController.popover.showRelativeToRect_ofView_preferredEdge_(rect, self.statusitem.valueForKey_('button'), NSMaxYEdge)
class SimpleXibDemoController(NSWindowController):
popover = objc.IBOutlet()
counterTextField = objc.IBOutlet()
username_field = objc.IBOutlet()
password_field = objc.IBOutlet()
submit_button = objc.IBOutlet()
def canBecomeKeyWindow_(self):
return 1
def windowDidLoad(self):
NSWindowController.windowDidLoad(self)
@objc.IBAction
def submit_(self, sender):
username = self.username_field.stringValue()
password = self.password_field.stringValue()
self.updateDisplay(username + ' ' + password)
def updateDisplay(self, value):
self.counterTextField.setStringValue_(value)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = TestApp.sharedApplication()
icon = NSImage.alloc().initByReferencingFile_('app-icon.png')
app.setApplicationIconImage_(icon)
AppHelper.runEventLoop()
It looks like you're adding an underscore where you shouldn't. The PyObjC bridge will translate it into a colon. Besides that, the corresponding Python boolean value should be True
. Thus, the correct function would look like this:
def canBecomeKeyWindow(self):
return True
