Hi, Frederic.
You can disable the NSTextView or NSTextField object but it doesn't
mean gray-drawing text. On these object, 'Disable' means 'not editable'
and 'not selectable' so on. I think this spec is reasonable because the
strings on alert panel should be displayed in black and disable.
If you want to display them in gray color just like other control
things,
you can use setTextColor: with setEnabled:.
Good luck.

Hi All,
I'm aware NSTextView is not inherited from NSControl; but I'm
surprised not to find a method somewhere to *visually* disable this
widget in the API... I've also searched in the archives and through
Google w/o any success. So, should I look again (b/c it IS there)? Or
can someone confirm I won't find anything like this?
If this is the case, is there someone who knows/understands why I
couldn't disable this widget? I've succeeded in disabling any
interaction w/ the text it contains by invoking setSelectable(false)
on my instance; but it still doesn't look that good alongside some
(really) disabled controls (like NSTextField, for example, whose both
content *and* enclosure are "greyed"). IMHO It's just not that
smart...
Note: I'm aware this class is more text-oriented (since inherited from
NSText...) than some text-related controls; however it *does* sport
some visual container and I think it should then be exposed to the
*same* visual alternated representations, shouldn't it? (Do you think
I should post a feature request to Apple's Bug Reporter interface and
ask for the addition of some isEnabled() & setEnabled(boolean)
methods?)
Thanks in advance for any information on this detail,
