Thanks Kyle,
It is RTF-editable. I created the NSTextView object manually because
of other needs in the program.
It had been working properly for sometime, but I did some extensive
improvements during the last couple of months; but this part of the
code should have been unaffected.
I did implement:
- (void)setRichText:(BOOL)flag
It seems like should work, because the listing of acceptable Drag
types included all of those that apply to RTF-editable at the end of
the windowControllerDidLoadNib routine.
The behavior is very strange; I've been testing it and sometimes it
goes into a plain text mode; other times it pastes fine as RTF. When
I try to paste large file, say the Coca documentation on NSTextView,
then it pastes it as plain text even it had been working ok before.
Thanks for the helpful suggestions below.
Any more insights are gratefully appreciated,
Vince

Hi,
My NSTextView has strange behavior when pasting: The rich text is
pasted as plain text when the material has been copied from Safari.
When the same material has been copied from another NSTextView
(e.g.,
TextEdit), it pastes properly as RTF.
What are the options set on your NSTextView in IB? It needs to be
rich-text editable.
I checked my pasteboard type at the end of the
windowControllerDidLoadNib routine:
NSArray *arrDrag = [tView acceptableDragTypes];
for(i=0;i<[arrDrag count];i++)
NSLog(@"%@", [arrDrag objectAtIndex:i]);
Dunno if this was a quick & dirty debug attempt or whatnot, but there
are two style issues I'd like to highlight just as a note:
1) NSArray overrides -description to provide a reasonable string
representation of its contents, so if you call NSLog(@"%@", arrDrag)
things will Just Work(TM).
2) If you need something a bit fancier, instead of using the standard
for-loop array idiom, it's recommended that you use an enumerator. If
you're targeting 10.4, use NSEnumerator. If you're targeting 10.5,
you can instead use the new for(foo in bar) syntax to take advantage
of fast enumeration.
HTH,
