NSBox is not showing methods to add content in it (Swift)

Question

I would need to add some contents inside a NSBox, an Image and some text. To do that I use the methods of NSBox class and call them on the object.

I created an IBOutlet:

@IBOutlet weak var theBox: NSBox!

and I also have a button, once I click it, the box will be filled with text (NSTextField):

@IBAction func filler(sender: AnyObject)
{
    var label: NSTextField! = NSTextField()   //Initialized a label to put it in the box
    label.stringValue = "My text hey hey hey!"

    theBox.setContentView(label)       //I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE HERE
}

to add the content I used .setContentViewbut this method is not callable on the object theBoxand I don't know why I am wrong. Look at the documentation. The method exists and it is callable on the NSBox objects.

I'm new with swift and OSX development. Any Idea?

In Swift, you don't call the set methods for properties, you just assign to them directly:

theBox.contentView = label
