227 PointsHelp Creating a Button that Underlines text
Hi All,
I'm a novice and I'm trying to make a simple photo editing app that allows you to add text and to be able to bold, italicize, and underline it. I have it all working except the underline.
The code I have works, however, for it to work you have to highlight/select the text and then press underline. I'd like it to underline the text element without having to highlight/select it. Any ideas on how to get this code to do that?
Objective-C
-(void)underlineTextButton{
UITextView selectedText = (UITextView ) selectedElement;
NSRange range = selectedText.selectedRange;
NSTextStorage *textStorage = selectedText.textStorage;
[textStorage addAttribute: NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName
value:[NSNumber numberWithInt:NSUnderlineStyleSingle]
range:range];
}

13,107 PointsI've never used this but it seems to me that the solution could be passing the length of the text instead of the selectedRange. Try this:
NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0, selectedText.text.length);
