Force NSPopover to not become first responder with NSTokenField

Question

I\'m having a NSTokenField and I\'m providing a custom autocompletion inside the popover. Unfortunately as soon as the popover is shown it forces the NSTokenField to resign firs

Answer 1

I happened to stumble upon this problem while designing a custom control to be used within a table view.

It seems that at least in recent versions of Mac OS X, you can send the table inside your Popover (or whatever focus-stealing view you've got there) a tableView.refusesFirstResponder = true.

The popover will no longer attempt to steal first responder if you do this.
