Hi, I did do quite a few searches but I didn’t find that - I’m not that good at formulating the correct search string, I think was trying things like "NSScrollView Truncate Text”. Anyway, I managed to piece together something that would and I created a Category method on NSScrollView so I will

Re: How to Truncate lines in NSScrollView/NSClipView/NSTextView Combo

Hi, I’ve tried loads of different way of doing it but none of them work. Maybe its because I’m not using Auto-Layout, maybe its just impossible using an NSScrollView/NSTextView. In fact, since there isn’t a handy-dandy method or property on any of the classes in question to just do it, I’m begi

Re: How to Truncate lines in NSScrollView/NSClipView/NSTextView Combo

Re: How to Truncate lines in NSScrollView/NSClipView/NSTextView Combo

Hi Bill, I’m familiar with NSAttributedString and friends. I had thought that there was a higher level interface to it as it seems like a common thing to want to do. Basically my ScrollView is just a scrolling line log similar to XCode’s NSLog window. I’m just appending an NSString to the Docum

How to Truncate lines in NSScrollView/NSClipView/NSTextView Combo

Hi All, I know this has been covered before but I can’t for the life of me find it by searching. I have an NSTextView inside an NSScrollView. At present the Text Lines is wrapped if they are longer than the Scroll View, I'd them to truncate. I had thought I’d seen some properties somewhere for
