Question

I Have an NSTextView.

I just want to add an Attribute (an NSLinkAttributeName) to the selected Text in the NSTextView…

Can You Help me ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You want to get the view’s textStorage (which is basically a mutable attributed string), then add the NSLinkAttributeName attribute to the selected range; the value of that attribute is the URL to link to.

[[textView textStorage] addAttribute: NSLinkAttributeName value: url range:[textView selectedRange]];
