iPhone SDK/General Xcode question

In the iPhone SDK, in my .n, I can say:

-(IBOutlet) UITextField *MyNameIs;
-(IBOutlet) UILabel *DisplayMyNameIsHere;

}

-(IBAction)PressButtonToDisplayYourName;

Then in my .m, I'll do:

-(IBAction)PressButtonToDisplayYourName {
     DisplayMyNameIsHere = MyNameIs.text;
}

But now how would I translate that to making a Mac application. If I wanted to display someones name from a textfield in a label? I have been trying to figure this out, but the ".text" extension only works in the iPhone SDK, not the Mac SDK. Someone please help! Thanks!

Solution

  • If you're referring to a Cocoa application, you could do the following in your .h file:

    IBOutlet NSTextField *myLabel;

    IBOutlet NSTextField *myTextField;

    -(IBAction)displayName:(id)sender;

    And then you could implement it in the .m file:

    EDITED FOR COCOA:

    -(IBAction)displayName:(id)sender{ [myLabel setStringValue:[myTextField stringValue]]; }
