I have an NSString that I want to put into an NSTextView. The only

hook up the bindings given that NSTextView is looking for RTFD data?
Do I have to convert the string to NSData, like so?
If you're just using a plain string (no formatting) then turn off the
NSTextView's "Multiple fonts allowed" attribute -- the **value**
binding (which then appears) expects an NSString...
You have no idea how long I experimented with NSTextView just to make
it accept a simple NSString via bindings. I ended up writing a
complicated value transformer which converts a string into NSData with
pseudo-html wrappers, including a content-type hint which tells the
text view about the correct data encoding. This really did work, by the
way, but some more documentation would have been helpful. :-)
Speaking of bindings, is there a similar trick to get some useful
bindings for a WebView? When I select it in IB, only a "hidden"
property is available.
Kind regards,
Rene Puls
