I have a NSTextView that's displaying MIDI info from my app's current MIDI input device. I show this info in a couple of places - one is in a "MIDI Setup" type window, and the other is in an Inspector window. I want the Inspector window to show this data in light grey text against a dark background (whereas the MIDI Setup window shows it in black on white). I'm doing this from my MIDI controller class, which is instantiated as a nib in IB. The controller has an IBOutlet to the desired text view. In the controller's init I tried just setting the foreground colour of my text view's textStorage, but that didn't work -- it still displays as black text. It does work to do this:
[[mainWindowMIDIMonitor textStorage] setForegroundColor:[NSColor lightGrayColor]]; [mainWindowMIDIMonitor performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(setString:) withObject:monitorInfo waitUntilDone:NO]; But it doesn't display the first input in light grey. It starts out as black, than changes after the first entry... go figure... Is there no way to just permanently set the text colour to light grey once? Do I have to have the controller hold a reference to the text view, rather than just using an outlet? J.
