Dear list, I have an NSTextView subclass which I've set up to highlight matching words in view. So if the user highlights a word, all matching words are highlighted. I'm doing the highlighting using a temporary attribute on the layout manager: NSBackgroundColorAttributeName.
In order for this to work, I first remove this attributed in the visible range of text: [[self layoutManager] removeTemporaryAttribute:NSBackgroundColorAttributeName forCharacterRange:visibleRange]; This has the unfortunate side-effect of removing the red squiggly lines which indicate misspelled words. So, I was trying to think of ways out of this. I could cycle through all temporary attributes in view and only remove those where NSBackgroundColorAttributeName is the color of my highlighting. This seems a bit heavy. I was wondering if I could do the removal and then get the text view to re-highlight the misspelled words, but I couldn't find a way to make it do that. Any ideas?
