Setting the first responder

[Fastrak]

Anyone had any luck forcing a view to be the first responder? I have a view myView
and thought it would be

[[myView window] makeFirstResponder: self];

but is is expecting an NSWindow (or myView to be an NSView)

anyone???????

Do you mean UIWindow and UIView?

You have to override canBecomeFirstResponder and return YES
By default a view itself is not a firstResponder and returns NO to canBecomeFirstResponder. A textfield can be a firstresponder. A window by default can be a first responder.
