NSTextView and NSAttributedString
cocoa, nsattributedstring, nstextview
Solution
`NSMakeRangeFromString` parses a textual representation of a range, it doesn’t create a range which covers a string. As your text contains no integers it returns the range `{0, 0}` - location and length both zero. So therefore your text is not styled.
Replace with `NSMakeRange(0, str.length)` and your code should work.
Problem
I'm trying to stick an attributed string into my NSTextView, but it's just showing as plain text, no attributes. I created my string like so: ``` NSString *str = @"Parsing Directory Structure\n\n"; NSMutableAttributedString *attrstr = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:str]; NSDictionary *attributes = @{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [NSColor blueColor], NSFontAttributeName : [NSFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:20.f] }; [attrstr setAttributes:attributes range:NSRangeFromString(str)]; [[self.textView textStorage] appendAttributedString:attrstr]; ``` and on the NSTextView (inside the scrolling view) I've got the "Allows Rich Text" box checked still, and the Editable box unchecked. I'm basically trying to use this like a console output window.
