I am new to Cocoa and Mac dev, and I want to make a simple
dictionary program with Cocoa on MacOSX. Can anybody help and tell
me how to get any words on screen where cursor points in Cocoa?
Jean-Daniel Dupas replied:
Could you not simply use the built-in dictionary application ?
That said, to put anything on screen on OS X, you need a window and
a view. However, both of these can be almost or completely transparent/
borderless to give the illusion of the text being next to the cursor.
You can also create a menu bar-less application (See NSUIElement and
LSBGOnly) to present these windows.
