I have a application, where I have to capture the paste event for the NSTextField. Two scenario is required: If text is typed, call goes to controlTextDidChange If paste action is done in text field, again this controlTextDidChange delegate is called. I need to differentiate between Paste action and type action NSTextField. It is required as I need to call separate function.

Please suggest, how to capture Paste Action for the NSTextField.

Thanks in Advance. Raghunath

Welcome to Stack Overflow.

You can intercept the paste command by using a custom field editor and overriding paste. Documentation:Text Fields, Text Views, and the Field Editor and Using a Custom Field Editor.

This answer might be helpful: NSTextField: exposing its Copy and Paste methods. You don't have to use a subclass of NSTextFieldCell, you can also use the method windowWillReturnFieldEditor of NSWindowDelegate.
