View Won't Accept First Responder Status - objective-c

Question

I'm creating a new window and view programmatically. I need the view to accept First Responder status. For whatever reason it's not.
I'm doing this old school because I want my app to be compatible with older versions of OSX. Here's what I've got:
- (IBAction)startShow:(id)sender {
// Capture the main display
if (CGDisplayCapture( kCGDirectMainDisplay ) != kCGErrorSuccess) {
NSLog( #"Couldn't capture the main display!" );
}
// Get the shielding window level
windowLevel = CGShieldingWindowLevel();
// Get the screen rect of our main display
screenRect = [[NSScreen mainScreen] frame];
// Put up a new window
displayWindow = [[ShowWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:screenRect
styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask
backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered
defer:NO screen:[NSScreen mainScreen]];
[displayWindow setBackgroundColor:[NSColor blackColor]];
[displayWindow setLevel:windowLevel];
[displayWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
// Load show window with options from settings window.
[displayWindow loadOptions:screenRect];
}
Just to clarify, displayWindow is an instance of ShowWindow, which is a subclass of NSWindow. In my ShowWindow class I'm doing the following:
- (BOOL)canBecomeKeyWindow
{
return YES;
}
- (void) loadOptions:(NSRect)screenRect {
// Create custom view to hold text fields
view = [[ShowView alloc] initWithFrame: screenRect];
[self setContentView:view];
// Track Title Text Field Initialize
textField = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, screenRect.size.height / 4, screenRect.size.width, 350)];
[textField setStringValue:#"My Label"];
[textField setBezeled:NO];
[textField setDrawsBackground:NO];
[textField setEditable:NO];
[textField setSelectable:NO];
[textField setTextColor:[NSColor whiteColor]];
[textField setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:92]];
[textField setAlignment:NSCenterTextAlignment];
// Add track title text field to main view.
[view addSubview:textField];
// Make the view first responder
[self makeFirstResponder:view];
}
view is an instance of ShowView, which is a subclass of NSView. Last but not least here's what I've got going on in ShowView:
// Next four methods set main view as first responder to accept keyboard input
- (BOOL)acceptsFirstResponder
{
NSLog(#"I accepted being a first responder! Yea!");
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)resignFirstResponder
{
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)becomeFirstResponder
{
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
return YES;
}
- (void)insertText:(NSString *)input
{
}
