Issue with NSFontPanel

I have an application where I user need to modify style (font, size, bold, back and fore colors,...) How can I load the initial style in the FontPanel and get the new attributes after user validation?

I tried a lot of different things but without any success.

Thanks

Solution

  • Use the setPanelFont:isMultiple: to set the initially selected font.

    Use [NSFontManager sharedFontManager] setSelectedAttributes:isMultiple: to change the initially colors; the dictionary keys are NSForegroundColorAttributeName and @"NSDocumentBackgroundColor" for the colors and NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName and NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName for the styles.

    When the font changes the changeFont: method of the delegate instance will be called.

    Ditto styles: changeAttributes: method. And text & doc colors: setColor:forAttribute: method.

    To get the new attributes in the changeAttributes method:

    NSDictionary * newAttributes = [sender convertAttributes:@{}];
