You may want to look at the freely downloadable Session 114 - Advance Cocoa Text Tip and Tricks from iTunesU in WWDC 2010 videos. It may help. Salman On Mar 31, 2012, at 5:08 AM, Koen van der Drift wrote:

I have an NSTextView to which I want to add some lines that connect certain words. When the text changes, either by editing, or scrolling, that lines should follow the words. I thought about using CoreAnimation, but text in a CATextLayer does not appear to be editable like the text in an NSTextView (is that correct?). So, an alternative could be to override drawViewBackgroundInRect and use NSBezierPaths to draw my lines and I will work on that this weekend.

Any thoughts or suggestions I may have overlooked?
