I am having a problem finding the length of a text field’s text !

I am having a problem finding the length of a text field’s text!

I searched here a lot and just found that it would work with textfield.text.length or something like that.
My problem is textfield.text is not working for me!
If I write this code: textfield.text; then I get an error like this:

property “text” not found on object of type NSTextField

I have to find the length of an text field in order to limit the number of characters.

What should I do? Thanks in advance.

    Most of the classes in AppKit, as opposed to UIKit, don’t have properties. NSTextField doesn’t even have a method called text. You need the stringValue method, which is inherited from NSControl
