NSTextField Clear Button

On the iPhone a UITextField can have a clearButtonMode set to show a small clear button (X) at the end of a text input. Similarly, on the Mac the NSSearchField has a nice clear button on it at the end. My question is - is there a way to enable this on a normal NSTextField?

Solution

  • There's nothing built-in; just use a search field and turn off the magnifying glass:

    [[button cell] setSearchButtonCell:nil];
