Mutating an attributed string doesn't count as "key-value coding", even if the string itself is exposed as a KVC-compliant property.
Since the only KVC-compliant change for the textStorage property would be to change it to a completely new object instance, and that would be very wasteful, you will need to add another property that you mutate in a KVC-compliant manner to trick Core Data into noticing your attributed string has changed. --Kyle Sluder On Apr 23, 2013, at 11:41 PM, Peng Gu <pan...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a textview that is binding to Core data, I want to be able to > highlight the selected text in the textview. > > *[self.textStorage addAttribute:NSBackgroundColorAttributeName value:[ > NSColor yellowColor] range:self.selectedRange];* > > The code above works, but core data won't save the attributes changes > unless I type some words in the Textview.
