I'm about to implement something similar (for another purpose) and
really wish that they had separated the editing code from NSTextView
so it
could be used more directly without the view. (I wrote my own text
editor
for MacOS 9.) I'll probably just use the "Sketch" approach his time
with
the floating edit view, but with my own text container.
BTW, I have a text container that works for arbitrary Bezier
shapes,
including ones with holes and bumps. You can see some examples at
<www.ed4u.com/textflow>. Keep in touch if you would like to try it
later.
If I can manage to compile it as a component, I may let it out for
trials.
Hello list-
I'm building an Illustrator-like graphic editing system as part of
a larger
application I'm working on and I want the user to have the ability
to add text
objects. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this --
ideally I'd use
an NSTextView, but when I add the text view as a subview to the
custom draw
view where all the other shapes are drawn the text is always on top
of any of
the shapes that get rendered to the draw view (Of course).
My other option is to use the text containers
drawGlyphsForGlyphRange method
-- which is fine by me, but the problem is I want the user to be
able to
select/edit the text and I'm not sure if it's even possible to do
that without
using an NSTextView.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Mike
Have a look at CoreText (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/CoreText_Programming/
) and ATSUI (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/ATSUI_Concepts/
), it may help you in what your planning to do.
