Hi All,
I have a fullscreen text view in my app that allows the user to set a
foreground and background color. Problem is, for some configurations
the default I-beam mouse cursor does not show up very well so I want
to provide a custom I-beam cursor in the same color as the text.
I put together a bezier path to draw the I-beam and overrode
resetCursorRects like this:
- (void)resetCursorRects
{
[self addCursorRect: [self visibleRect] cursor: [self bigIBeamCursor]];
}
This works great as long as I use it in an NSView subclass. But as
soon as I change my class to inherit from NSTextView it stops working.
resetCursorRects is still called, but the text view is doing some kind
of magic to change the cursor itself. I have also tried overriding -
(void)addCursorRect:(NSRect)aRect cursor:(NSCursor *)aCursor to
replace the generic ibeam with my own, but that only seems to get
called if I override resetCursorRects and it does not affect the
cursor appearance in the text view either.
Has anyone else out there successfully changed the mouse cursor on a
text view? What did you need to do?
thanks,
Todd Ransom
