How to create a link in TUIAttributedString?

[choco]

Why the mouseDown event isn't registering ? Have you added your TUITextRenderer to the view text renders array? If you don't do this the event won't propagate ( i think, I''m not sure).

Yes, I did add this to the textRenderers array. My normal text registers but not the links. I will keep trying, I am probably doing something silly.

Check out the delegate methods for TUITextRenderer, you have your delegate supply the ranges that should be clickable, and in your -mouseUp: method (in your view), you can determine the clicked range with the .hitRange property on the text renderer.

this solve my problem, and it is a faster way if you dynamical create AttributedString when you scroll the tableView.

Sweet, so I will just not use 'NSLinkAttribute' and just use clickable ranges.

I solved this by subclassing TUITextRenderer and overriding mouseUp as so:

- (void)mouseUp:(NSEvent *)event {
    CFIndex i = [self stringIndexForEvent:event];
    NSRange effectiveRange = NSMakeRange(0, 0);
    // Get the attributed string in this index
    id attr = [attributedString attribute:NSLinkAttributeName atIndex:i effectiveRange:&effectiveRange];
    if (attr && [attr isKindOfClass:[NSURL class]]) {
        //Open up the url
        [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:attr];
    }
    [super mouseUp:event];
}

I will add on code to handle other types of attributes as well specific to my app. Thanks!
