setting an NSTextView

How can I set an NSTextView to an NSAttributedString? I do not want to use a textConainer, and I tried:

[myTextView insertText:myMutableAttributedString];

but it didn't work. Nothing happened...not even a warning or a runtime error. Any help would be appreciated.

In Swift 2.2:

myTextView.textStorage?.setAttributedString(myMutableAttributedString)

In Objective-C:

[[myTextView textStorage] setAttributedString:myMutableAttributedString];

Textview must be editable to insert.

[myTextView setEditable:YES];
[myTextView insertText:myMutableAttributedString];
[myTextView setEditable:NO];

You should call -setString with an empty string before calling that method (otherwise you're inserting text into a null string object):

[myTextView setString:@""];
[myTextView insertText:myMutableAttributedString];
