Drag And Drop Killed By loadNibNamed

Hello all, hope you can help.

My application loads a window from a nib and then displays it.  This 
window has a Text View (NSTextView in NSScrollView).

When the window is loaded from a nib using:

[NSBundle loadNibNamed: <at> "nibfilename" owner:m];

dropping text (using drag and drop) on the NSTextView doesn't work.

It doesn't seem to matter how I show the window once I load the nib. 
Have it show via "Visible At Launch", show using 
makeKeyAndOrderFront, show using beginSheet.

If I copy the window into my main nib show it, then drag and drop 
works fine.  Does anyone have any ideas why the drag and drop is 
getting killed when I use loadNibNamed.

Thank you.

Re: Drag And Drop Killed By loadNibNamed

I remember to have run into the same problem. Somehow the window was not present early enough. I ended up
using NSWindowController's

[[yourwindowcontrollersubclass alloc] initWithWindowNibName: <at> "YourNibNameWithoutExtensionNib"]

which worked.

Re: Drag And Drop Killed By loadNibNamed

Subclassing and using NSWindowController worked, thank you.

Specifically:
	MyNSWindowController *m = [[[MyNSWindowController alloc] 
initWithWindowNibName: <at> "myNib"] autorelease];
	[m window];

When is editWithFrame:... used?

Can anyone tell me when NSTextFieldCell's editWithFrame:... method is used? In my testing all ways of
editing I have tried always go through selectWithFrame:... and never use editWithFrame:.... I need to
know for a subclass whether I need to override this method, but for that I need to test it. But when it's not
used it's not tested...

thanks,
Christiaan

Are you sure about that? Did you test that? I really don't see that. I had not looked at that particular sample
code for a long time, but I sure did test in my own subclass (which is very similar to ImageAndTextCell), and
this method was not called, at least not after a mouseDown. As I implied. Otherwise, still the question is WHEN?

Can you also search it? When I search the documentation on editWithFrame:, I find 8 sample code projects
that actually show editWithFrame: in use. I assure you that, for example, in the DragNDropOutlineView
