I am using this notification for NSComboBox. Only problem is when I select a different item in the dropdown it always show previously selected value in the combo box. How can I get the currently selected value. I need to make some controls enable/disable based on the value.
- (void)comboBoxSelectionDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSComboBox *comboBox = (NSComboBox *)[notification object];
NSLog(@"[comboBox stringValue] : %@", [salaryBy stringValue] );
}
I got the selected value using:
NSString *strValue = [comboBox itemObjectValueAtIndex:[comboBox indexOfSelectedItem]];
I have also noticed this bug and fixed it in a different way. The correct value can be fetched when we read the value in the next run of the main run loop after the comboBoxSelectionDidChange method call as shown below
- (void)comboBoxSelectionDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification{
[self performSelector:@selector(readComboValue:) withObject:[notification object] afterDelay:0];
}
- (void)readComboValue:(id)object
{
NSString *comboValue = [(NSComboBox *)object stringValue];
NSLog(@"%@", comboValue);
}
produces the desired result
I use these code with success!
Setting up:
@interface YourWindowController : NSWindowController<NSComboBoxDelegate,NSComboBoxDataSource>
- (void)windowDidLoad
{
comboBox.usesDataSource = YES;
comboBox.datasource = self;
comboBox.delegate = self;
[comboBox selectItemAtIndex:0];
}
-(void)comboBoxSelectionDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification
{
NSLog(@"Selection = %@ ",[[array objectAtIndex: (long)[comboBox indexOfSelectedItem]] objectForKey:@"yourkey"]);
}
Hope this help.
