I'm trying to programatically set a right-aligned text tab at the rightmost edge of my text view.

I've tried to set the tab stop location in terms of the width of the text view, and in terms of the width of the text container, but setting such a tab stop at this extreme offset seems to have the effect of causing the tabbed text to disappear.

It was a guess to assume that the units were in pixels/points, but it seems right. I know it's *close* to the right units, because when I subtract 10.0 from the width, regardless of what it is, I get roughly the desired behavior (text right-aligned to the edge of the view).

How can I find out the maximum tab location for a given textview/ container, that will actually work as expected? The "minus 10.0" trick works for now, but I'm a little wary.

Daniel,

It can be a little tricky figuring out where all the various bits of space go, but there's a pretty good diagram at <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/TextStorageLayer/Tasks/Region.html >. Take a look at (a) the text container inset and (b) the line fragment padding and see if either of those corresponds to what you're seeing.
