| G'day yet again.
This is a real PITA!
I've tried to read an NSColor of an Attributed character, but the code won't allow the read. I thought from the documentation that the character might be immutable, so decided to try and convert it to a mutable Attributed charter, and simply cannot get he conversion from the very vague explanation of the creation of a CF character, to Applescript.
Am I on the wrong track? Explored is extremely brief on conversions as far as I can find, and there does not seem to be anything on the net.
I'd appreciate a conversion from…
CFAttributedStringCreateMutableCopy Creates a mutable copy of an attributed string. CFMutableAttributedStringRef CFAttributedStringCreateMutableCopy (
CFAllocatorRef alloc,
CFIndex maxLength,
CFAttributedStringRef aStr
);
Parameters- alloc
The allocator to be used to allocate memory for the new attributed string. Pass NULL or kCFAllocatorDefault to use the current default allocator. - maxLength
The limit on the length of the new attributed string. The string starts empty and can grow to this length (it can be shorter). Pass 0 to specify that the maximum length is not limited. If non-0, maxLength must be greater than or equal to the length of aStr. - aStr
The attributed string to copy.
Return ValueA mutable copy of aStr. Ownership follows the Create Rule. Availability- Available in OS X v10.4 and later.
Declared In
to ApplescriptObjC please (I haven't the foggiest idea on how to pass NULL or kCFAllocatorDefault to whatever), so that might be the problem), or, why have they mentioned maxLength but not CFIndex? Do they want a range? There's simply too many possible permutations for me not to request help.
Also, why won't Explored's 'set aMutableCopyOfItemForAttributes to itemForAttributes's mutableCopy()' method work?
