I want to highlight different substrings contained in controls in a window (two
different comboBoxes for example) programmatically when the user is searching
for a subString. I can do this for one comboBox but not both simultaneously.
Here's one.
NSString *s = [titleComboBox stringValue];
NSRange r = [s rangeOfString:searchText options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch
range:NSMakeRange(0, [s length])];
[titleComboBox selectText:w];
if (r.location != NSNotFound) {
// this is needed to select the substring
NSText *textEditor = [w fieldEditor:YES forObject:titleComboBox];
[textEditor setSelectedRange:r];
}
But this only highlights the text in the titleComboBox. If I then repeat this
to highlight the text in the categoryComboBox by repeating the code,
titleComboBox gets deselected and categoryComboBox gets selected. I want to
highlight them both simultaneously. I'd also rather use the big yellow
highlight like with the find panel (but that's later).
Is this possible?
