Spec: how to select contents of TextModel on focus

Administrator

As the user tabs through the text fields of my Spec dialog, I'd like for the text to be selected in the currently active field. How do I do this? I played with #readSelectionBlock:, which seems to be sent during initialization but not navigation, and #whenReadSelectionIsChanged:, the purpose of which I can't figure out.

Thanks,
Sean

Cheers,
Sean

Can't you force the use of readSelectionBlock during the navigation ?

I thought about this for a while and realized I don't know what that means :) Would you give a little more info? e.g. where to look...
