Another update, I guess I love to talk to myself. I got the drawing part done as follows:
CALayer *aLayer = [CALayer layer]; NSRect r = [self.layoutManager boundingRectForGlyphRange: aRange inTextContainer: self.textContainer]; aLayer.backgroundColor = CGColorCreateGenericRGB (0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2); // obviously this will be changed to something nicer aLayer.frame = r; aLayer.cornerRadius = 6.0f; [self.layer addSublayer: aLayer]; There are two problems: 1. the y-location of the layer that is drawn is wrong, I think it has to do with the coordinates being flipped 2. when the range contains a line break, I get the rect for two whole lines, not just the glyphs. - Koen.
