I'd like to add some custom text highlighting to my NSTextView, so I added the 
following code to the NSTextView init method:

    CALayer *aLayer = [CALayer layer];
    [self setWantsLayer: YES];
    [self setLayer: aLayer];


Then I add the highlighting for a particular text range (aRange):

         self.layer.backgroundColor = CGColorCreateGenericRGB (0.2, 0.2, 0.1, 
1.0);
         self.layer.frame = [self.layoutManager boundingRectForGlyphRange: 
aRange inTextContainer: self.textContainer];

But it looks all garbled for the while view, not for the range, and I see the 
Xcode window text behind it.

What should I do to make this work?

attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: [NSColor redColor, 
NSBackgroundColorAttributeName, nil]; 
[self layoutManager] addTemporaryAttributes: attributes forCharacterRange: 
aRange];  works, but I'd like to have some more control on how the text 
highlighting is drawn.


- Koen.
