    <p>I've got an Label (NSTextField) in IB that's bound to a controller. The controller, on awakeFromNIB, sets the attributedStringValue of the label to contain some coloured text and a link or two.</p> <p>When you see the label it contains the correct string value, but some of the formatting is lost - until you click on the label, and it updates to contain the correct formatting.</p> <p>I'm using this code to set the value:</p> <pre><code>[self.testTextField setAllowsEditingTextAttributes:YES]; [self.testTextField setSelectable:YES]; NSMutableAttributedString *linkString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"hit this "]; [linkString beginEditing]; NSMutableAttributedString* attrString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"link"]; NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0, [attrString length]); [attrString addAttribute:NSLinkAttributeName value:[[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://google.com"] absoluteString] range:range]; [attrString addAttribute:NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName value:[NSNumber numberWithInt:NSUnderlinePatternDot] range:range]; [attrString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[NSColor blackColor] range:range]; [linkString appendAttributedString:attrString]; [linkString appendAttributedString:[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@" to search"]]; [linkString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[NSColor redColor] range:NSMakeRange(0, [linkString length])]; [linkString endEditing]; [self.testTextField setAttributedStringValue:linkString]; </code></pre> <p>Based on this example, you'll see the string coloured red and in the default Label font. Then when you click on the label the font changes size and face and the link magically renders.</p> <p>Any ideas on how to get the string to render correctly the first time? </p>

    1. COYou don't need to call `beginEditing` and `endEditing` when you are constructing an attributed string. These methods are only for use when the string is being monitored for changes, such as `NSTextStorage` for an `NSTextView`.

    2. COAlso, you say the text field is "bound" to the controller. The use of the word "bound" implies that you're using Cocoa Bindings, but it seems like you are not, as you are setting the value of the text field programmatically. Is the text field's `attributedStringValue` binding actually bound to anything?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
