Yes I am trying to draw it in a NSTextView. I tried what you suggested but it did not work. I played with multiple combinations of:

[ textView setBackgroundColor:[ NSColor whiteColor ]/[ NSColor clearColor ]];
[ textView setDrawsBackground:NO/YES ];
and switching the textView isOpaque to on and off.


I would look forward to any other suggestions.

Thanks
Fred

How are you drawing the text? If it's in a NSTextView you also need to set the background colour of the view to clear, I believe, and maybe you'll need to override the IsOpaque method to return NO.

(I'm not that sure of myself here but I seem to recall something along these lines).

Dear All

I am trying to set the background colour of a range of text in textview to a color with an alpha value less than 1.

I get the text storage and set its NSBackgroundColorAttributeName attribute (through NSMutableAttributedString calls) to a colour with an alpha value less than 1.
However when this background draws it draws the colour as solid and as I decrease the alpha value( towards 0.0 ) the colour goes towards black.


Any suggestions

Thanks
Fred
