Can I underline the text of a NSTextField from interface builder ?

So far, I've only able to change its color. Is there a way to underline it ?

thanks

Answer 1

No, you'd have to do it in code. For example:

NSMutableAttributedString *str = [[myTextField attributedStringValue] mutableCopy];

[str addAttribute:NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName value:[NSNumber numberWithInt:NSUnderlineStyleSingle] range:NSMakeRange(0, str.length)];

[myTextField setAttributedStringValue:str];

[str release];

This is a big help, though I ran into an error until I changed the value to: NSUnderlineStyleSingle – Guild

NSMutableAttributedString *strs = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithAttributedString:[btnPreviousTitle attributedTitle]]; NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0, [strs length]); [strs addAttribute:NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName value:[NSNumber numberWithInt:NSSingleUnderlineStyle] range:range]; [btnPreviousTitle setAttributedTitle:strs]; help me to make my NSButton with Underline text. – Carmellacarmelle

Valid only for iOS

Yes, set attributed text, then select the text, right mouse click > Font > Underline

Are you sure that screenshot goes with NSTextField? I do not see such an option to set the title to be attributed and it seems like that screenshot relates to a button instead. – Amuse

It should do that with every Attributed String field – Scarface

I don't see an option for setting the string to be attributed. Are you sure that you are in an OS X app? Inside of Xcode when selecting a NSTextField I see the following: i.imgur.com/yTip3sq.png – Amuse

Nope, sorry, I'm on iOS but I supposed that that having an attributedString property would have been reflected in Interface Builder like they do with the other controls... – Scarface

Yeah, I figured you misread the question, might want to add a note that your answer is for UITextField and not NSTextField – Amuse

although it is useful info, the question was about NSTextfield not UI something – Spank

Why is this answer here, and why are people upvoting it? Is it so hard to read the question title before answering? – Dickenson
