I cannot create a working NSTextView programmatically. Starting with the new project template, I have this code (mainly from Apple's โText System UI Programming Guideโ):
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
NSString *string = @"Here to the ones who see things different.";
NSTextStorage *textStorage = [[NSTextStorage alloc] initWithString:string];
NSLayoutManager *layoutManager = [[NSLayoutManager alloc] init];
[textStorage addLayoutManager:layoutManager];
NSTextContainer *textContainer = [[NSTextContainer alloc] initWithContainerSize:NSMakeSize(300, 300)];
[layoutManager addTextContainer:textContainer];
NSTextView *textView = [[NSTextView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(50, 50, 300, 300)
textContainer:textContainer];
[textContainer setWidthTracksTextView:YES];
[textView setVerticallyResizable:YES];
[textView setHorizontallyResizable:NO];
[textView setAutoresizingMask:NSViewWidthSizable];
[[self.window contentView] addSubview:textView];
}
Running the application opens a window with a white square in it, which should be an NSTextView, but there is no text and there is no way to interact with the text representation. Moreover, I tried to add text to the text view in the code after creating the view with [textView setString:@"Some string."], but this will not work either. (By the way, I also tried first migrating it to NSScrollView if this was somehow a problem, but that didn't help.)
I canโt understand in my life what the problem is. What am I missing?
