Usage

1. Add a new NSTextField using Interface Builder, then change the class type to DSFLabelledTextField, or
2. Programatically create one

Properties

• drawsRoundedEdges : Draw the control border using round rects
• drawsLabelBackground : Draw a solid color behind the label
• label : The text to display in the label
• labelForegroundColor : The color of the label text
• labelBackgroundColor : The color behind the label
• labelWidth : The width of the label. If set to -1, fits the label size to the label text.
• labelAlignment : The alignment of the label. Useful if you have multiple label fields that you want to synchronise the width for. Defaults to NSTextAlignment.center

Grouping fields

There are times where you might need to synchronise the width of the labels of a number of fields. To do this, you can add the fields to a DSFLabelledTextFieldGroup instance and the field labels will size to fit the maximum width of all the labels in the group.

Example

@IBOutlet weak var redField: DSFLabelledTextField!
@IBOutlet weak var greenField: DSFLabelledTextField!
@IBOutlet weak var blueField: DSFLabelledTextField!
let colorGroup = DSFLabelledTextFieldGroup()

override func viewDidLoad() {
   super.viewDidLoad()

   /// Sync the widths of the red, green and blue labels
   self.colorGroup.add(fields: redField, greenField, blueField)
}
