So, I have an NSRulerView I need to attach to an NSScrollView
containing an NSTextView subclass. So far, all is good.
However, no matter what I do or override, I cannot seem to get rid of
the little formatting portion of the ruler. It just... comes back.
The left justification, right justification, etc., just keeps
appearing! Debugging shows that an accessoryView of nil gets
replaced by something called an 'NSStopTouchingMeBox,' which is
clearly some sort of internal class. The left/right/etc.
justification buttons have absolutely no meaning for this particular
textview, and just really clutter things up. I can actually make it
'go away' if I do a manual [self setAccessoryView:nil] in the
drawRect call of my subclass (eww) to ensure it never ever comes
back. But even then, it leaves a big empty spot in the ruler frame,
bloating my ruler hugely and making me cry.
Really, what I want in this case is just a blank canvas to draw some
information in, and have it stay stuck 'above' the NSTextView. It
seemed to me that NSRulerView was the appropriate way to do this, but
if I cannot get the formatting stuff to just go away and give me a
blank view to draw in, I suppose it would make more sense to subclass
NSScrollView. (Again, ew.)
Thoughts? Advice? Simple bits of code I might have overlooked?
Especially that last one... :)
