Interface Builder's User Defined Runtime Attributes not accepting floats?

Question

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?

Accepted Answer

Use a string type and enter your value like this
