Glad to meet you, the DSClickableURLTextField class has been excellent :) I
didn't subclass it, I just made my own little modifications to it here and
there. Here is the minSizeForContent method:
- (NSSize)minSizeForContent {
// Grab the height for the text
float newHeight = [[self attributedStringValue] heightForWidth:[self
frame].size.width];
// Add 10 more pixels onto the size for safety and make new NSSize
NSSize newSize = NSMakeSize([self frame].size.width, newHeight + 10.0);
return newSize;
}
The -heightForWidth: method and several other geometrics related methods are
being used from a category which can be found here:
http://www.sheepsystems.com/sourceCode/sourceStringGeometrics.html
The category creates its own NSTextContainer, NSTextStorage, NSLayoutManager,
etc. I'm sure it would be more efficient if I used the existing layout manager
in DSClickableURLTextField, haven't gotten to that yet. That might be a good
feature to add in future versions, a method that performs functions similarly
to what is in the category.
Other modifications I made (I don't exactly remember), but I changed some
things to allow for selection of the text. The issue with this is that now when
you click on a link the link text returns to that default blue underline style
(haven't found a way around this yet). And sure, I would love to test out the
new version :-)
