NSTextView, bindings and displaying an NSString

Question

My second day working with Cocoa. I've got an NSTextView set up, its attributed string is bound to an NSArrayController (I'm using Core Data):

controller key: selection
model key path: myString

I've read that an NSTextView needs an NSAttributedString, which is why it's throwing an exception when trying to set the value of the attribute.

NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Unacceptable type of value for attribute: property = "myString"; desired type = NSString; given type = NSConcreteAttributedString; 

Any ideas how I can get my managedObject's NSString attribute to be shown in an NSTextView?

Answer 1

You can bind your NSString to NSTextView's value instead of attributedString. For this, you need to turn off "Rich Text" for NSTextView.
