Remarks

Application developers must use this property if they desire the use of multiple text styles in the UITextView. The following example uses M:Foundation.NSMutableAttributableString.AddAttribute* to modify the color and font in a various ranges, as shown in the image.

//UITextView default
var atts = new UIStringAttributes();
atts.ForegroundColor = UIColor.Blue;
var txt = "Text Kit.\n Lorem ipsum different font dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.";
var attributedString = new NSMutableAttributedString(txt,atts);

//Multiple type styles. 
attributedString.BeginEditing();
attributedString.AddAttribute(UIStringAttributeKey.ForegroundColor, UIColor.Red, new NSRange(0, 10));
attributedString.AddAttribute(UIStringAttributeKey.Font, UIFont.PreferredFontForTextStyle(UIFontTextStyle.Headline), new NSRange(0, 10));
attributedString.AddAttribute(UIStringAttributeKey.Font, UIFont.FromName("Georgia", 20), new NSRange(23, 14));
attributedString.EndEditing();

TextView.AttributedText = attributedString;
