Hello Networld, I have a question concerning Loadable Palettes. I am designing a text object that will be able to do input value validation/correction according to a list of available options like money,date, soc-sec etc. This correction method will be determined when the developer makes a selection from the inspector tool during the creation of the application. Then by using a text delegate I can check the input value when the user attempts to exit the field. The developer will have to write no additional code because the text field will do it. Currently I have the text object, like the blinker object in the examples, a subclass of TextField and the inspector panel setup and working correctly. My problem and questions relate to accessing the object id of my text field. No matter what new,alloc or init routines I create, they are not called when the application is executing. I do get mouseDown messages however. How do I gain access to the text object id so I can assign a text delegate and perform other init information. thanks for the help doug worthington dougw@grebyn.com
