Hi all,
I can't seem to grok exactly the right way to align a plain text
NSTextView (left, center or right). I modified the ButtonMadness
sample project to experiment by replacing the code that creates a code-
based segment control with a code-based text view like this that
should be right-aligned:
buttonFrame = [placeHolder5 frame];
codeBasedTextView = [[NSTextView alloc] initWithFrame:buttonFrame];
[codeBasedTextView setEditable:NO];
[codeBasedTextView setSelectable:YES];
[codeBasedTextView setDrawsBackground:NO];
[codeBasedTextView setRichText:NO];
[codeBasedTextView setImportsGraphics:NO];
[codeBasedTextView alignRight:nil];
[codeBasedTextView setString:@"a string"];
[segmentBox addSubview:codeBasedTextView];
[placeHolder5 removeFromSuperview]; // we are done with the place
holder, remove it from the window
but the string still shows up left aligned rather than right aligned.
I'm obviously not doing something right, but I'm a little new to all
the Cocoa APIs. Any help would be appreciated. My goal would be that
if the NSTextView auto-resizes and becomes wider, the text would
automatically follow the right edge.
Documentation for alignRight does say:
"This action method applies right alignment to selected paragraphs (or
all text if the receiver is a plain text object)."
and, as nearly as I can tell, the text view is set up to be plain
text, but maybe I don't understand that part either.
Thanks,
Ken
