I created an NSView subclass that has a float property and I'd like to set it in Interface Builder. In the User Defined Runtime Attributes section the only suitable Type is Number. But if I want to enter a decimal number (either using . or , as delimiter) it just rounds to the nearest integer. Is this a bug or on purpose? How can I define a float instead of an Integer?

1Huh. This actually works. How fantastically ugly, even by the standards I expect of Xcode. Is this madness documented anywhere? How in the world did you discover it, otherwise? – Mark Amery Sep 09 '13 at 14:11

5It is not documented. I found it when drinking. – William Entriken Sep 12 '13 at 14:37

@MarkAmery What standards are you talking about? This is completely illogic, just as many other things with XCode. Like Swift code suggestions, for example. – Azurlake Mar 01 '17 at 12:18
