Greetings,
I tried this:
- (void)putImageInMenuItem:(NSMenuItem *)menuItem {
NSFileWrapper *fileWrapper = [[[NSFileWrapper alloc] init] autorelease];
[fileWrapper setIcon:[[[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL
URLWithString:@"http://www.wurldbook.com/favicon.ico";]] autorelease]];
NSTextAttachment *textAttachment = [[[NSTextAttachment alloc]
initWithFileWrapper:fileWrapper] autorelease];
//NSAttributedString *attString = [NSAttributedString
attributedStringWithAttachment:textAttachment];
NSColor *txtColor = [NSColor redColor];
NSFont *txtFont = [NSFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12];
NSDictionary *txtDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:txtFont,
NSFontAttributeName, txtColor,
NSForegroundColorAttributeName,textAttachment,
NSAttachmentAttributeName,nil];
NSAttributedString *attString = [[[NSAttributedString alloc]
initWithString:@"Hello!" attributes:txtDict] autorelease];
[menuItem setAttributedTitle:attString];
}
and all I got was "Hello!" in black. no red or image.
Am I going about this wrong or is it not working for an app dock menu I wonder.
Best regards,
Olav
