I have a Cocoa Form (xib) which contains some NSTextFields and an NSMatrix of NSButtonCells. I can use the "Tab" key to tab though the NSTextFields, but the NSMatrix gets skipped over.

I want to be able to tab into the NSMatrix, and tab from one button to the next within the matrix.

I have put in the following line of code, but it is having no effect:

[mtxMyMatrix setTabKeyTraversesCells:YES];

Can anybody help with this problem or point me to an example? I have searched for hours with no success.

    Have you tried setting "Next Key View" for one of the text fields to be the matrix itself? – jscs Mar 06 '12 at 20:22
  • Thanks - yes I have. The focus jumps over the matrix to the text field after it, ignoring the matrix. – arossco Mar 07 '12 at 10:07

I had a similar problem and the solution I found was fiddling with the "first responder" setting. Specifically, making sure that the entire form didn't refuse, and each individual field likewise accepted first responder status. Again, the whole form, and each field as well. I too searched for a while... :( I'm also noob.
