I used to retrieve the NSImage in a subclass of NSTextField from Obj-C like this:
NSDictionary *attributedVal = [[self attributedStringValue] attributesAtIndex:i effectiveRange:&effectiveRange];
if ([[attributedVal allKeys] containsObject:NSAttachmentAttributeName]) {
NSTextAttachment *attachment = [attributedVal valueForKey:NSAttachmentAttributeName];
NSCell *attachmentCell = (NSCell *)[attachment attachmentCell];
... [[attachmentCell image] name] ...
}
When I try to do the same in Swift I can't seem to be able to cast attachmentCell
but get a compiler error:
let attributedVal = attributedStringValue.attributesAtIndex(i, effectiveRange: effectiveRange)
if let attachment = attributedVal[NSAttachmentAttributeName] as? NSTextAttachment {
let attachmentCell = attachment.attachmentCell as NSCell // does not work
...
}
Thanks to Nate Cook. The following works:
