Description

This is a sample program that demonstrates how to use the Apple Text Services For Unicode Imaging (ATSUI) technology in a Carbon Events based HIView architectured application.

This sample code has been updated to include a project that produces a universal binary. No code changes were required for it to run correctly on the Developer Transition Systems.

It contains a ready-to-use HIATSUIView which is a custom HIView

The HIATSUIView handles:

- getting and setting the text content

- getting and setting the styles

- getting and setting the selection

- various features like colors, wrapping, framing, justification, and transparency

- copying and dragging

- scrolling and auto-scrolling

- handling of double-clicks, triple-clicks, quadruple=clicks, click-and-drag, shift-clicking

The TypeForServices code handles:

- showing how to set the text

- showing how to set the text and styles

- showing how to rotate

- showing how to handle font variants

- showing how to handle font selection through the standard Font menu

- showing how to handle font selection through the standard Font panel

- showing how to instantiate the HIATSUIView from a nib

- showing how to read a text file and set the HIATSUIView content
