macOS Yellow highlight effect for text?

[grimreaper1377]

How do I give my text a yellow highlight effect? Like the same one when I do +F in safari, etc.

Thanks.

If working in Cocoa, look at NSAttributedString and NSBackgroundColorAttributeName.

If you're developing for 10.5, you can use the showFindIndicatorForRange: method of NSTextView.
