Swift-从NSTextView中的选定文本中获取颜色

Question

I want to check whether or no a range of a selected text is coloured in Red in my NSTextView. I know that it conforms to NSText class and there is a textColor property in NSText but I can't get the color for my NSRange selection.

Any ideas?

Maybe you could use the property selectedTextAttributes of NSTextView ( documented here )

let selectedTextAttributes = textview.selectedTextAttributes
if let foregroundColor = selectedTextAttributes[NSForegroundColorAttributeName] as? NSColor {
    //Here is your foreground color
}

Hope that helps.

Update

As @willeke points out in the comment below my "answer here" won't do the trick. Have a look at his comment to the original question instead.
