Choosing the order that text fields cycle when tab is pressed

Question

I have several text fields and would like to set a particular order in which they would cycle when the tab key is pressed. Currently, it starts at a text field with becomeFirstResponder and then goes on in the default order which xcode put. Can I somehow bypass that order and force the text fields to cycle in a particular order? Like linking the last one of the cycle back to the first one.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Connect the initialFirstResponder outlet of your window to the first text field, then build a chain by connecting the nextKeyView outlet of that text field to the text field that should come next (and so on).

Answer 2

That's called the key view loop.
