Hi
I'm working with an NSText view and want to display tab delimited
strings in a table format. I don't need a full NSTable, just the
ability to break up the text into columns using tab stops. Is there
any built-in way to do this? Something like setTabStops?
I looked in NSTextView, NSText, NSTextContainer and
NSAttributedString but didn't see anything.
You need to create an NSMutableParagraphStyle, set you tab stops on it
with setTabStops: and then add it as an attribute to your attributed
string in your text view.
Code written in Mail, YMMV:
NSArray *tabStops = /* your array */
NSMutableParagraphStyle *style = [[NSParagraphStyle
defaultParagraphStyle] mutableCopy];
[style setTabStops:tabStops];
[[textView textStorage] addAttribute:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName
value:style range: /* effective range */ ];
/* if you're doing this in response to a user action you should also
update the typing attributes */
NSMutableDictionary *typingAttributes = [[textView typingAttributes]
mutableCopy];
[typingAttributes setObject:style forKey:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName];
[textView setTypingAttributes:typingAttributes];
[typingAttributes release];
[style release];
