NSTextView insert image in between text

Question

Is it possible to insert an image (not a background image) into an NSTextView? Something like:

Hi :) How are you?

and it should display a "smiley" image. I have an NSTextView and an NSImage.

Did you find how to add a checkbox or sth else into nstextview? — NeXT5tep, Dec 31 '11 at 07:21
I didn't look for check box, i had to insert image only, i believe, should be feasible with NSTextView — Amitg2k12, Jan 02 '12 at 04:54

Insert NSImage into NSTextView:

NSImage * pic = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:@"/Users/Anne/Desktop/Sample.png"];
NSTextAttachmentCell *attachmentCell = [[NSTextAttachmentCell alloc] initImageCell:pic];
NSTextAttachment *attachment = [[NSTextAttachment alloc] init];
[attachment setAttachmentCell: attachmentCell ];
NSAttributedString *attributedString = [NSAttributedString  attributedStringWithAttachment: attachment];
[[textView textStorage] appendAttributedString:attributedString];

In the header file:

IBOutlet id textView;

thanks a lot, one more question is there any way to add anymore control like, if i want to add a progress bar when user wants to transfer a file – Amitg2k12 Mar 15 '11 at 05:11
Thanks! Do you know how to provide drag & drop with the image of the cell? By default if I drag it to Finder it creates an empty text file – hyouuu Nov 09 '18 at 02:19
