Hi Albert, You might try appending the text directly to the text storage:
NSMutableAttributedString *attstr = [[[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:someText] autorelease]; [[textView textStorage] beginEditing]; [[textView textStorage] appendAttributedString:attstr]; [[textView textStorage] endEditing]; Cheers, Martin On Sep 22, 2010, at 4:03 AM, albert jordan wrote: > Greetings, > > I'm having a problem with NSTextView, and I'm wondering if anyone can help > verify the source of the problem and suggest alternatives. > > I'm trying to develop an automated test program for Android handsets.
