While the application I'm writing is an AppleScript Studio app, I'm
building the .nibs in Interface Builder so I figured I'd ask in this
list as well....
In my application I have a help button that when clicked on opens a
window that basically contains the information from my ReadMe.rtfd in
an NSTextView. What I did was copy the content of the ReadMe in
TextEdit and paste it into the NSTextView in Interface Builder.
The ReadMe.rtfd document contains graphics and text in Helvetica and
Geneva with different text sizes and styles such as bold, underlined,
italic, etc. Some of the text was also a different color than the
standard black. Pasting the contents of the ReadMe document into the
NSTextView preserved everything of the original document except for the
coloring of the text. I can select the text in the NSTextView and
change its color again using the Color palette, but as soon as I save
the .nib file, the color gets reset to the standard black.
Is there any way to get colored text in an NSTextView like this or will
I have to find some other way?
As for why I don't use other Help options, such as Help Viewer, or
opening the ReadMe in TextEdit, I don't think they'd really be
practical. My application only executes a single command after which it
restarts the system--I'd really like to keep the help within my own
app.
Thanks in advance...
