And a good "guess" it was because it got me to add the release and = nil to the
code...
possible[strlen(possible)] = '\0';
NSString *possibleString = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%s", possible];
NSAttributedString *theAttributedString =
[[NSAttributedString alloc ] initWithString:
possibleString
attributes:
theAttributes];
[theSudokuTextField setAttributedStringValue: theAttributedString];
[theAttributedString release];
theAttributedString = nil;
and now it's working again. However, as you can see, theAttributedString itself
is not mutable.
Thanks millions!
