By default implementors of the IMKTextInput protocol displays marked text of the current input session underlined (with 2 pixel black underline according to documentation). I develop specific Input Method and would like to use another formatting, say, without underlining but with background color. I've tried attributed string with empty format:
NSString *buffer = /* getting some buffered text */;
NSMutableAttributedString *text = [[[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:buffer attributes:[NSDictionary dictionary]] autorelease];
// client is of type id<IMKTextInput>, of course
[client setMarkedText:text selectionRange:NSMakeRange(0, [text length]) replacementRange:NSMakeRange(NSNotFound, NSNotFound)];
but with no avail. So, how can I change format of marked text? Is it possible?
