NSTextMBS.backgroundColor as NSColorMBS

(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.baseWritingDirection as Integer

The Text system uses this value as a hint for calculating the actual direction for displaying Unicode characters. You should not need to call this method directly. If no writing direction is set, returns NSWritingDirectionNatural.

Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later.
(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.changeFont

If the receiver doesn't use the Font panel, this method does nothing.

This method changes the font by sending a convertFont message to the shared NSFontManager and applying each NSFont returned to the appropriate text. See the NSFontManager class specification for more information on font conversion.

NSTextMBS.checkSpelling

The search starts at the end of the selection and continues until it reaches a word suspected of being misspelled or the end of the text. If a word isn't recognized by the spelling server, a showGuessPanel message then opens the Guess panel and allows the user to make a correction or add the word to the local dictionary.

NSTextMBS.Constructor

Var t as new NSTextMBS

On success the handle property is not zero.

• Constructor(left as Double, top as Double, width as Double, height as Double)

NSTextMBS.Constructor(Handle as Integer)

Var t as new NSTextMBS(0, 0, 100, 100)
Var v as new NSTextMBS(t.handle)

MsgBox str(v.Bounds.Width)+" x "+str(v.Bounds.Height)

The handle is casted to a NSText and the plugin retains this handle.

NSTextMBS.cut

NSTextMBS.delete

NSTextMBS.drawsBackground as boolean

(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.Enabled as boolean

If enabled, text is in default text color.
if disabled, you can't edit or select and the text color is gray.
(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.font as NSFontMBS

(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.importsGraphics as boolean

(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.isEditable as boolean

You can change the receiver's text programmatically regardless of this setting.

If the receiver is editable, it's also selectable.
(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.isFieldEditor as boolean

True if the receiver interprets Tab, Shift-Tab, and Return (Enter) as cues to end editing and possibly to change the first responder; false if it accepts them as text input.

See the NSWindow class specification for more information on field editors. By default, NSText objects don't behave as field editors.
(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.isHorizontallyResizable as boolean

By default, an NSText object is not horizontally resizable.
(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.readRTFDFromFile(file as folderitem) as boolean

file should be the path for an .rtf file or an .rtfd file wrapper, not for the RTF file within an .rtfd file wrapper.

NSTextMBS.replaceCharactersInRangeWithRTF(start as Integer, length as Integer, rtfData as MemoryBlock)

This method applies only to rich text objects.

This method does not include undo support by default. Clients must invoke shouldChangeTextInRange to include this method in an undoable action.

This method is designed for transferring text from out-of-process sources such as the pasteboard. In most cases, programmatic modification of the text is best done by operating on the text storage directly, using the general methods of NSMutableAttributedString.

NSTextMBS.replaceCharactersInRangeWithRTFD(start as Integer, length as Integer, rtfdData as MemoryBlock)

This method applies only to rich text objects.

This method does not include undo support by default. Clients must invoke shouldChangeTextInRange to include this method in an undoable action.

This method is designed for transferring text from out-of-process sources such as the pasteboard. In most cases, programmatic modification of the text is best done by operating on the text storage directly, using the general methods of NSMutableAttributedString.

NSTextMBS.replaceCharactersInRangeWithString(start as Integer, length as Integer, text as string)

For a rich text object, the text is assigned the formatting attributes of the first character of the text it replaces, or of the character immediately before aRange if the range's length is 0. If the range's location is 0, the formatting attributes of the first character in the receiver are used.

This method does not include undo support by default. Clients must invoke shouldChangeTextInRange to include this method in an undoable action.

NSTextMBS.RTFDFromRange(start as Integer, length as Integer) as MemoryBlock

Raises an NSRangeException if any part of aRange lies beyond the end of the receiver's characters.

When writing data to the pasteboard, you can use the memoryblock object as the first argument to NSPasteboard's setDataForType method, with a second argument of NSRTFDPboardType.

NSTextMBS.RTFFromRange(start as Integer, length as Integer) as MemoryBlock

Raises an NSRangeException if any part of aRange lies beyond the end of the receiver's characters.

When writing data to the pasteboard, you can use the memoryblock as the first argument to NSPasteboard's setDataForType method, with a second argument of NSRTFPboardType.

NSTextMBS.text as string

For performance reasons, this method returns the current backing store of the text object. If you want to maintain a snapshot of this as you manipulate the text storage, you should make a copy of the appropriate substring.
(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.textColor as NSColorMBS

(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.textLength as Integer

NSTextMBS.toggleRuler

NSTextMBS.underline

If there is a selection and the first character of the selected range has any form of underline on it, or if there is no selection and the typing attributes have any form of underline, then underline is removed; otherwise a single simple underline is added.

Operates on the selected range if the receiver contains rich text. For plain text the range is the entire contents of the receiver.

NSTextMBS.unscript

NSTextMBS.usesFontPanel as boolean

(Read and Write computed property)

NSTextMBS.writeRTFDToFile(file as folderitem, atomically as boolean) as boolean

Returns true on success and false on failure. If atomically is true, attempts to write the file safely so that an existing file at path is not overwritten, nor does a new file at path actually get created, unless the write is successful.
