- That's what I've done. But when the user hits return, I have a method
- process the text, and I want it to then select the next field, just
- as if the user had pressed the tab key.
-
- I got suggestions that I should use something like
- [[sender nextText] selectText:self]
-
- This doesn't work; I get a warning that says the compiler can't
- find the method and that "return type for 'nextText' defaults to id."
- or "structure has no member named nextText" if I try to access that
- variable directly by sender->nextText.
-
- Essentially, I need to access a variable internal to the object. That's
- not allowed, but I would expect there to be a method to select the
- field pointed to by that variable so I don't have to access it.
-
- Help?
