macOS How to set text right aligned in NSTextField while using setAttributedStringValue

[Monaj]

hi all,

I am caught in a small problem.

When I am assigning normal values to a text field using setStringValue and making the text right aligned through IB, it works fine! But when I try to assign it NSAttributedString using setAttributedStringValue: the text appears in correct color and font but does not appear to be right aligned, it always appear to be left aligned irrespective of any setting in IB.
I have tried to do it via code using setAllignment:NSRightTextAllignment and event tried to look for suitable methods in class references but cannot find one.

Can anyone suggest me the appropriate method

Thanks in advance,

Manoj

You could try providing a custom NSParagraphStyle for the attributed string, and use its setAlignment: method instead.
