How do I set the color of an NSButtonCell text label

Question

How do I set the color of an NSButtonCell's label (title) text, that is the column cell for a table view? In my case, it is an checkbox button cell. (Is it possible using IB?)

Answer 1

Try this one,, i think its perfect one.

NSColor *color = [NSColor redColor];
NSMutableAttributedString *colorTitle =
    [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithAttributedString:[button attributedTitle]];

NSRange titleRange = NSMakeRange(0, [colorTitle length]);

[colorTitle addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName
                   value:color
                   range:titleRange];

[button setAttributedTitle:colorTitle];

Answer 2

You could try an attributed string value.

NSColor *txtColor = [NSColor redColor];
NSFont *txtFont = [NSFont boldSystemFontOfSize:14];
NSDictionary *txtDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
        txtFont, NSFontAttributeName, txtColor, NSForegroundColorAttributeName, nil];
NSAttributedString *attrStr = [[[NSAttributedString alloc]
        initWithString:@"Hello!" attributes:txtDict] autorelease];
[[attrStrTextField cell] setAttributedStringValue:attrStr];
[attrStrTextField updateCell:[attrStrTextField cell]];
