Sent when a control with editable text begins an editing session.

Notification: The notification object. The name of the notification is always NSControlTextDidBeginEditingNotification.

This event is invoked when the user begins editing text in a control such as a text field or a form field. The control posts a NSControlTextDidBeginEditingNotification notification, and if the control's subclass implements this event, it is automatically registered to receive the notification. The field editor is also delivered for inspection.

See TextDidEndEditing for an explanation of why you may not always get one invocation of TextDidBeginEditing for each invocation of TextDidEndEditing.

Sent when a control with editable text ends an editing session.

Notification: The notification object. The name of the notification is always NSControlTextDidEndEditingNotification.

This event is invoked when the user stops editing text in a control such as a text field or form.

Warning: In some cases, such as when editing within an instance of NSOutlineView, this method may be invoked without a previous invocation of TextDidBeginEditing. You will only get the TextDidBeginEditing: notification if the user actually types something, but you can get the TextDidEndEditing notification if the user just double-clicks the field and then clicks outside the field, without typing.
