For editing multiple strings it is more efficient to have multiple text fields than multiple text views. An NSTextView represents an entire text system, including an NSLayoutManager. For each editable string, you would create a completely new text system. Text fields share a common text system in the form of a field editor. This is all explained in the Text Editing Programming Guide. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
