[Biococoa-dev] Re: Weird bug with selection in Textview with custom textcontainer [solved]

[Alexander Griekspoor]

Hi Douglas,

Many thanks for the advice, I've got it to work!
Below is the implementation of a custom layoutmanager class that  
fixes the problem. The nice thing is that it will get self- 
deactivated when you've fixed the problem ;-) I know if I have  
correctly implemented the fractionOfDistanceThroughGlyph part of the  
method, I'm not well known with c pointers, but that's anyway not  
really needed anyway for me.
Once again, thanks for the help!
Cheers,
Alex


#import "KDLayoutManager.h"

#define COLUMN_WIDTH 10

@implementation KDLayoutManager


- (unsigned)glyphIndexForPoint:(NSPoint)aPoint inTextContainer: 
(NSTextContainer *)aTextContainer fractionOfDistanceThroughGlyph: 
(float *)partialFraction{
	
	unsigned idx = [super glyphIndexForPoint: aPoint
							 inTextContainer: aTextContainer
			  fractionOfDistanceThroughGlyph: partialFraction];
	
	// because of a bug in this method we check by hand	if wrong value  
is given
	if(idx == COLUMN_WIDTH && !NSPointInRect(aPoint, [self  
boundingRectForGlyphRange: NSMakeRange(COLUMN_WIDTH,1)  
inTextContainer: aTextContainer])){
		int i;
		for (i=0; i<COLUMN_WIDTH; i++){
			NSRect glyphRect = [self boundingRectForGlyphRange: NSMakeRange(i, 
1) inTextContainer: aTextContainer];
			if(NSPointInRect(aPoint, glyphRect)){
				//calculate fraction
				float fraction = (aPoint.x - NSMinX(glyphRect)) / NSWidth 
(glyphRect);
				partialFraction = &fraction;
				return i;
			}
		}
		// if not found, check whether before or after
		if(aPoint.x < NSMinX([self boundingRectForGlyphRange: NSMakeRange 
(0,1) inTextContainer: aTextContainer])) {
			float fraction = 0.0;
			partialFraction = &fraction;
			return 0;
		}
		else {
			float fraction = 1.0;
			partialFraction = &fraction;
			return COLUMN_WIDTH;
		}
		
	}
	return idx;
}
