Resign from being the first responder for the NSFontmanager

Hi All,

 

I have preference window ( accessed thruough preferences menu) where I let the user set the font and color for text displayed in my main window. This all works fine, as I have overidden the ChangeFont method.  Here is the code I have used:

 

    // request to display the font panel, received from the preference window

- (IBAction)displayFontPanel:(id)sender{

   

    NSFontManager *fontManager = [NSFontManager sharedFontManager];

             

    NSFontPanel *fontPanel = [fontManager fontPanel:YES];

    [fontManager setTarget:self];

    [fontPanel makeKeyAndOrderFront:sender];   

}

 

    // font change : received when font is changed in the preference window

- (void)changeFont:(id)sender {

     

    titleFont = [sender convertFont:titleFont];

    [self UpdatePrefWindow :titleFont];

    [self appPreferences:updatePlist];

}

 

The issue  now is that all other text fields and text views in my main window are not able to receive the changeFont message. What I am trying to do is to resign from being the first responder once the preference window is deactivted and become the first responder again when it is achitvated.  Any ideas.

 

Thanks
