I have the same initial problem as described in Integrate NSStepper with NSTextField:

I need to have a NSTextField working with a NSStepper as being one control so that I can edit an integer value either by changing it directly on the text field or using the stepper up/down arrows.

Using bindings as commented on by carlosb results in a usable UI. However, in the initial question carlosb describes the following:

Problem is that if I edit the text field then click the stepper again it will forget about the value I manually edited and use the stepper’s internal value.

This is why I am posting a variation on this question again. carlosb’s use of bindings doesn’t solve this problem. This happens in both the current project I am working on and a test project I have created. The test project can be found at GitHub. You can download it there (even without git) via the “Download Source” button in the top right.

Is there a clean way to solve this issue?

    Text fields and sliders are both in the view layer of the MVC pattern. You’ll have much better results by binding both of those views to a property of your controller.
