nstextview

I'm trying to create a simple NSTextView-based window for simple WYSIWYG editing. However, I only want to allow certain types of formatting (e.g. Bold, Italic, Underline and a single heading type but no colors or different fonts.) The issue is if I simply use NSTextView, someone can create or copy formatted text in another program, then simply paste it into that view and all that formatting goes with it, allowing things I'm not allowing, such as different fonts, colors, etc. At best, I want to automatically strip out any formatting that my application doesn't support. At worst, I want to

I have two windows: Window A is loaded from NIB; and Window B is created programmatically. Both windows have a NStextView: the attributedString of the textview in Window A is bound to the the property text of a model using IB ; while the attributedString of the textview in Window B is bound to text property of the model using -[NSObject bind:toObject:withKeyPath:options:] method. [textview bind:@"attributedString" toObject:obj withKeyPath:@"text" options:nil]; Here is the weird thing: the textview in Window B is indeed bound to the obj.text , but the changes in the textview is never updated to

I've got an NSTextView subclass acting as its NSTextStorage delegate. I'm trying to do 2 things: Highlight the text in some ways Evaluate the text and then append the answer to the textview. I'm doing this in two different methods, both invoked by the - (void)textStorageWillProcessEditing:(NSNotification *)notification delegate callback. I can do the syntax highlighting just fine, but when it comes to appending my answer, the insertion point jumps to the end of the line and I don't really know why. My evaluate method looks like the following: NSString *result = ..; NSRange lineRange = [

I tried using defaultParagraphStyle, but I can't seem to get a NSTextView (programmatically added) to truncate text with an ellipsis (...). I am setting the frame during the initWithFrame (150, 20) and I also set the maxSize (150,20). However, text simply overflows. If I set the height where half a line is visible, I can see the top half of the text, however I would like to see the text truncated with ellipsis instead. How can I do this? If you hover over the corresponding control in IB, you can see the declaration and brief documentation on the method that it triggers (usually the getter

NSTextView does word-wrap by default. How can I disable this? I'm making a JSON code viewer, so I have to disable this. Eonil I got solution from: http://lists.apple.com/archives/cocoa-dev/2008/May/msg02396.html You have to set NSTextView's maximum width to very large number to make this work correctly. (Just copy maximum height) And enable horizontal scrolling of NSScrollView which is superview of the NSTextView.

I can't find any parameter that seems to be related with the text value showed in a NSTextView . I understood that a NSTextView uses a complex structure (with NSLayoutManager etc...), but I can't find a valid way to modify the current text value.
