Hi, ALL,
I am just wondering if its possible to have a RichText control which supports different color for the text/background and left indentation on the paragraph.
I tried it but failed.
Could someone please explain how to do it?
I am using NSMutableParagraphStyle to work with the indentation and using setHeadIndent()/setFirstLineHeadIndent() to work with indentation.
For selecting the colors I'm using the dictionary of typing attributes.
When I run the code it is either coloring or indentation, but not both.
Unfortunately I'm currently at work and don't have my Mac with me. I may post some code I tried later.
As promised here is what I have right now:
Like I said, there is only one possibility either color scheme or left indentation but not both.
In the caller, I set the the for the paragraph first and then I call this piece of code applying an appropriately set styles.
I'm pretty new to Cocoa programming and want to learn.
Thank you.

NSMutableDictionary* const
attrs = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:3];
if ( style.HasFont() )
[attrs setValue:style.GetFont().OSXGetNSFont() forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
if ( style.HasBackgroundColour() )
[attrs setValue:style.GetBackgroundColour().OSXGetNSColor() forKey:NSBackgroundColorAttributeName];
if ( style.HasTextColour() )
[attrs setValue:style.GetTextColour().OSXGetNSColor() forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName];
if( style.HasLeftIndent() )
{
paragraphStyle = [[NSParagraphStyle defaultParagraphStyle] mutableCopy];
[paragraphStyle setHeadIndent: style.GetLeftIndent() * mm2pts / 10.0];
[paragraphStyle setFirstLineHeadIndent: style.GetLeftIndent() * mm2pts / 10];
NSString *str = [[m_textView textStorage] string];
NSMutableAttributedString *attrString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString: str];
[attrString addAttribute:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName value: paragraphStyle range: NSMakeRange( 0, [str length] ) ];
[[m_textView textStorage] replaceCharactersInRange: NSMakeRange( 0, [str length] ) withAttributedString: attrString];
m_textView.typingAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: paragraphStyle forKey: NSParagraphStyleAttributeName];
[paragraphStyle release];
[attrString autorelease];
[m_textView display];
style.SetLeftIndent( false );
}
[m_textView setTypingAttributes:attrs];Like I said, there is only one possibility either color scheme or left indentation but not both.
