NSTextField Subclass won't show via Interface Builder

Question

I created a Subclass of NSTextField. If i use it via code there's no problems, everything is fine and the component works as intended. If i use it via Interface Builder the component just won't show.

Here is my inits for the subclass:

-(instancetype)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frameRect{ self = [super initWithFrame:frameRect]; if(self){ [self setAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter]; [self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor blueColor]]; [self setBezeled:NO]; [self setEditable:NO]; [self setSelectable:NO]; [self.cell setUsesSingleLineMode:YES]; } return self; } -(instancetype)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder{ self = [super initWithCoder:coder]; if(self){ NSLog(@"initWithCoder"); [self setAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter]; [self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor redColor]]; [self setBezeled:NO]; [self setEditable:NO]; [self setSelectable:NO]; [self.cell setUsesSingleLineMode:YES]; } return self; }

For instance, if i create two components , one by code and one by Interface builder i can see only the first component, with blueBackground.

Any ideas? Thanks

Is "initWithCoder" logged? How did you add the text field in IB? Did you set a value? — Willeke

InitWithCoder is logged. I add a customView, i change the Class in the Identity inspector and then i add the referencing outlet to a property of the same Class. I espect to see a red frame at least. But no. I don't see nothing. — Talkanian

When adding a subclass of an Appkit class in IB, add the nearest superclass and change the class in the Identity Inspector. So if you created a subclass of NSTextField, add a NSTextField and change the class.
