You can enable the interaction between a text object and the
Font panel using the setUsesFontPanel:
method.
Doing so is recommended for a text view that serves as a field editor, for
example.
You can use the Font panel on objects other than standard
text fields. The NSFontManager method setAction:
sets
the action (specified by a selector) that is sent up the first responder
chain when a new font is selected. The default selector is changeFont:
.
Any object that receives this message from the responder chain should
send a convertFont:
message
back to the NSFontManager to convert the font in a manner the user
has specified.
This example assumes there is only one font selected:
– (void)changeFont:(id)sender |
{ |
NSFont *oldFont = [self font]; |
NSFont *newFont = [sender convertFont:oldFont]; |
[self setFont:newFont]; |
return; |
} |
If multiple fonts are selected, changeFont:
must
send conversion messages for each selected font. This is useful
for objects such as table views, which do not inherently respond
to messages from the Font panel.
