I've found posts for changing the text selection/highlight color for EditorGadget and TextGadget on Windows. Is there any way to do this on MacOS?

or if you mean just changing which part of the text is selected (using the default highlight/selection color) see the last code snippet here https://purebasic.developpez.com/faq/?p ... ing-Gadget

I'm looking to change the HIGHLIGHT color when text in the editor or string gadget is SELECTED when we PRESS THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON AND DRAG or when we PRESS THE SHIFT AND ARROW KEYS.



The Windows version done by Sparkie is here:

Could this be done in MacOS?

Something like this ?

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 322, 150, "EditorGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  EditorGadget(0, 8, 8, 306, 133)
  
  Attributes = CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:", 
                            CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSColor orangeColor"),
                            "forKey:$", @"NSBackgroundColor")
  
  CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(0), "setSelectedTextAttributes:", Attributes)
  
  For a = 0 To 5
    AddGadgetItem(0, a, "Line "+Str(a))
  Next
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

EXACTLY! That did it!

Thank you wilbert. You're my savior.
