nstextview

I'm using an NSTextView to allow multi-line input. However, due to the nature of my app, users will be more comfortable moving to the next input element when they press TAB. How can I make TAB exit the NSTextView, while keeping the newline behaviour of the Enter key? Wevah You could implement -textView:doCommandBySelector: in your text view's delegate: - (BOOL)textView:(NSTextView *)aTextView doCommandBySelector:(SEL)aSelector { if (aSelector == @selector(insertTab:)) { [[aTextView window] selectNextKeyView:nil]; return YES; } return NO; } See http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa

I am trying to set an attributed string within NSTextView. I want to increase its height based on its content, initially it is set to some default value. So I tried this method: I set content in NSTextView. When we set some content in NSTextView its size automatically increases. So I increased height of its super view that is NSScrollView to its height, but NSScrollView is not getting completely resized, it is showing scroller on right. float xCoordinate = 15.0; [xContentViewScroller setFrame:NSMakeRect(xCoordinate, 0.0, 560.0, 10.0)]; [[xContentView textStorage] setAttributedString:xContents]

I am writing a special-purpose text editor in cocoa that does things like automatic text substitution, inline text completions (ala Xcode ), etc. I need to be able to programmatically manipulate the NSTextView ’s NSTextStorage in response to 1) user typing, 2) user pasting, 3) user dropping text. I have tried two different general approaches and both of them have caused the NSTextView ’s native undo manager to get out of sync in different ways. In each case, I am only using NSTextView delegate methods. I have been trying to avoid subclassing NSTextview or NSTextStorage (though I will subclass

Could someone explain to me what are the main differences between NSTextField and NSTextView? I know that NSTextView has more features and is usually used for longer texts, and NSTextField is usually used for one-line plain text fields, but if I understand correctly, NSTextField can be also used with attributed strings and with multiple lines... What I need specifically is a control that would display the text of messages inside a timeline view like in Tweetie or any other similar software. The only requirements I have are: it should display text in about 1-4 lines it should be able to show

My app consists of an NSScrollView whose document view contains a number of vertically stacked NSTextViews — each of which resizes in the vertical direction as text is added. Currently, this is all managed in code. The NSTextViews resize automatically, but I observe their resizing with an NSViewFrameDidChangeNotification , recalc all their origins so that they don't overlap, and resize their superview (the scroll view's document view) so that they all fit and can be scrolled to. This seems as though it would be the perfect candidate for autolayout! I set NSLayoutConstraints between the first
