Hi,
I'm working on making a Document based app for MacOS using AppKit and I wanted the different documents to be displayed as tabs of the same window which after a lot of research I managed to do using this single line:
windowController.window?.tabbingMode = .preferred
which I added inside the makeWindowControllers function of my Document.
I figured that in order to be able to style my tabs I should use this method:
windowController.window?.tab.attributedTitle = ...
But whatever I added after this = didn't do anything to my tabs.
For example I tried this:
windowController.window?.tab.attributedTitle = NSAttributedString(string: "Hello", attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.backgroundColor: NSColor.red])
Weirdly, using this method:
windowController.window?.tab.title = ...
did work but is far more limited than the other one. Maybe I did something wrong in my implementation of the tabs but it seems to work properly when I run it, only the colors and fonts don't match what I'd like to make which is why I wanted to change them using the attributed title.
Here's my full code for the function:
override func makeWindowControllers() {
let storyboard = NSStoryboard(name: NSStoryboard.Name("Main"), bundle: nil)
if let windowController =
storyboard.instantiateController(
withIdentifier: NSStoryboard.SceneIdentifier("Document Window Controller")) as? NSWindowController {
addWindowController(windowController)
windowController.window?.tabbingMode = .preferred
windowController.window?.tab.attributedTitle = NSAttributedString(string: "hey", attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.backgroundColor: NSColor.red])
// Set the view controller's represented object as your document.
if let contentVC = windowController.contentViewController as? ViewController {
contentVC.representedObject = content
contentViewController = contentVC
}
}
}
I would really appreciate some help on this issue!
Thanks by advance,
Cyprien
