:textview is linked to an NSTextView object via InterfaceBuilder.
Now the purpose of this view is to work as the display for text
coming from a MUD (Multi-user domain/dungeon). I have it set to
noneditable but selectable. My above code doesn't work. I allow it
to be editable, and the code does work. Is there a way to prevent
user-editing but to allow my code to edit it?
Extract from Apple's Objective-C insertText: documentation:
This method is the entry point for inserting text typed by the user
and is generally not suitable for other purposes. Programmatic
modification of the text is best done by operating on the text storage
directly. Because this method pertains to the actions of the user, the
text view must be editable for the insertion to work.
You can do for instance
@text_view.textStorage << 'my text'
But be careful, text inserted like this ignores the current font
attributes of the text view. You have to add them yourself.
