convert NSTextField to Label

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17422036

Question

I am using following functions for converting textfield to label and vice versa 

-(void)convertLabelToTextField : (NSTextField *)Inlabel
{
    [Inlabel setBezeled:YES];
    [Inlabel setDrawsBackground:YES];
    [Inlabel setEditable:YES];
    [Inlabel setSelectable:YES];
}

-(void)convertTextFieldToLable : (NSTextField *)textField
{

    [textField setDrawsBackground:NO];
    [textField setEditable:NO];
    [textField setSelectable:NO];
    [textField setBezeled:NO];

}

But my UI is not consistent.

  • Initial Label

  • Label to textfield

  • Textfield to Label (after selecting text)

  • Label to textfield

enter image description here

Can anyone please help me out.

Solution

Culprit was default hight of label.

label Default height

enter image description here

NSTextField Default height

hight of textfield

below is code for Label with height 22 

NSTextField *textField;

textField = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(10, 10, 100, 22)];
[textField setStringValue:@"My Label"];
[textField setBezeled:NO];
[textField setDrawsBackground:NO];
[textField setEditable:NO];
[textField setSelectable:NO];

OTHER TIPS

Try setting Resizing mask

[textField setAutoresizingMask: NSViewMinXMargin | NSViewWidthSizable | NSViewMaxXMargin | NSViewMinYMargin | NSViewHeightSizable | NSViewMaxYMargin];
