How to set NSButtonCell text label color

Question

How to set the color of the text label (title) NSButtonCell, which is a column cell to represent the table? In my case, this is a check box button cell. (Can I use IB?)

Answer 1

You can try the assigned string value.

NSColor *txtColor = [NSColor redColor];
NSFont *txtFont = [NSFont boldSystemFontOfSize:14];
NSDictionary *txtDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
        txtFont, NSFontAttributeName, txtColor, NSForegroundColorAttributeName, nil];
NSAttributedString *attrStr = [[[NSAttributedString alloc]
        initWithString:@"Hello!" attributes:txtDict] autorelease];
[[attrStrTextField cell] setAttributedStringValue:attrStr];
[attrStrTextField updateCell:[attrStrTextField cell]];

Answer 2

Try it, I think its perfect.

NSColor *color = [NSColor redColor];
NSMutableAttributedString *colorTitle =
    [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithAttributedString:[button attributedTitle]];

NSRange titleRange = NSMakeRange(0, [colorTitle length]);

[colorTitle addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName
                   value:color
                   range:titleRange];

[button setAttributedTitle:colorTitle];
