Adding a Dotted red line under characters in a UITextView

I am trying to create my custom spell checker for the UITextView.

To show that a word is misspelled, I need to add the "red dotted line" under the misspelled word. To do that, here is what I thought would work -

I create a dictionary which contains the values for the key NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName. However, what this does is, it does underline the characters but it does not have a dotted pattern. Also, setting the strokeColorAttribute also does not seem to have any effect.

Here is my code -

Code:

NSMutableDictionary *misspelledAttributes = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
    [misspelledAttributes setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:kCTUnderlineStyleThick|kCTUnderlinePatternDot] forKey:NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName];
    [misspelledAttributes setObject:[UIColor redColor] forKey:NSStrokeColorAttributeName];

To set the attributes to a attributed string for a particular range -

Code:

NSMutableAttributedString *attrString = [self.textView.attributedText mutableCopy];
[attrString addAttributes:misspelledAttributes range:wordRange];
self.textView.scrollEnabled = NO;
            self.textView.attributedText = attrString;
            self.textView.selectedRange = NSMakeRange(NSMaxRange(range), 0);
            self.textView.scrollEnabled = YES;

It would be great if someone could help me with this and point out what I am missing/doing wrong.

 

sorry.. probably I was not clear enough.. I do replace the string in the text view after adding my attributes. That was not the problem I was facing.

The problem I am facing is that, I am not able to add dotted red lines. All I am able to add is a thick single line.
