I want to do what is described here. I know I am kinda repeating the question but that post does not have an answer. I have searched the net and didn’t find anything I could understand either.
So, here is my problem: I want to create an NSTextField subclass that animates text (in the way described by the other post) when the text is too long to be completely displayed. I have absolutely no idea on how to do this, so some sample code would be nice for complicated answers. If it helps, I only want to use this to animate labels (text not selectable nor editable). Thanks.
It seems that this SO entry is close to what you need. It is not based on a NSTextField but on a NSView, but the result is what you are looking for and it should note be hard to modify.
