I've been investigating Attributed Strings, and how they work with
NSTextField and NSTextView, and I've got some questions I hope
someone can answer.
I want to have an attributed string in a text field, or at least
something that looks like a text field. I want to do something that
looks like syntax coloring on the input, so that certain parts of
the string are different colors. Now, I can put an attributed
string into a text field, and it looks like it supports rich text,
but it also looks like I can only set attributes for the entire
string, not parts of it. Is this correct?
I'm thinking that I might be able to use a text field, or a sub-
class of a text field with a custom formatter to achieve what I
want. The other alternative is to sub-class a text view, and make
it behave as much like a text field as possible. NSTextView seems a
lot 'heavier' though, so I'm not sure if this is a good idea.
As anyone tried anything like this in the past, and does anyone
have any suggestions on how to proceed with this?
Thanks in advance,
Iain
