I tried the following: myTextView = [self documentView]; [[[myTextView textStorage] mutableString] appendString:theString];
myRange = NSMakeRange(0,[[[myTextView textStorage] mutableString] length] - 1); [[myTextView textStorage] addAttribute:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName value:[NSNumber numberWithInt:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail] range:myRange]; But this results in nothing being displayed in the ScrollView/TextView. I thought of appending an Attributed string to the Text Storage, but I can’t find a method that accepts an Attributed String, so not sure how I’m supposed to just set it to NOT wrap! If anyone knows the secret please let me know! Cheers Dave > On 25 Apr 2016, at 16:34, Dave <d...@looktowindward.com> wrote: > > Hi Bill, > > I’m familiar with NSAttributedString and friends.
