NSTextField will not update

[self.change setStringValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i", changeValue]];

where change is an IBOutlet of type NSTextField. For whatever reason I can not get the text field to display anything I want. Every time I run, the field is "0". Any ideas on why it won't change?

Never update textfield or pop-button in init. You have to fill default values in awakeFromNib or some other delegates once class gets initialized.

Ok here is the embarrassing rookie mistake for others to learn from. I was calling my setstringvalue before the view was even loaded; in the didfinishlaunching method. Use the awakefromnib method to make sure you view is loaded. Via Apple:

Finally, after all the objects are fully initialized, each receives an awakeFromNib message.

Verify that the outlet is really linked with the NSTextField you have put in the xib file.
