So, I'm relatively new to Cocoa; I used NSAppKit ages ago when
tinkering with NeXT Step, but not for very long, so I'm basically
coming back in fresh. I know enough to get myself into trouble. ;)
The question I have here is two-fold: firstly, if anyone's done
something like this already and thus can save me reinventing the wheel,
or secondly if no one has, what do people think would be the best
approach within a properly Cocoa-friendly design?
The situation I'm trying to deal with is basically that I need a
specialized extension of NSTextView; I need to have a way both show the
timestamp of when a given line was added to the text view, and to
(obviously) store this information in the backing store. The timestamp
should probably be a tooltip; I don't want it normally there unless the
user is deliberately moving over a portion of the line to see it.
Yes, this may seem a little odd, but I have a good reason for it, trust
me! :) So, if anyone has any useful input on how best to do this, I'd
be most appreciative...!
