Trouble with NSTextField in Swift using xcode 6.1 (OSX)

Question

I started Swift but not Objective C. Can someone teach me how to get and set the NSTextField in Swift using xcode 6.1 under OSX?

Answer 1

You get and set the value of an NSTextField with the stringValue property. For instance, if you have this @IBOutlet in your app:

@IBOutlet weak var textfield: NSTextField!

getting the value:

println("textfield is \(textfield.stringValue)")

setting the value:

textfield.stringValue = "this is my string"
