Re: NSPasteboard Delegate

NSPasteboard indeed does not implement a setDelegate: method.

The object you pass as <owner> in -declareTypes:owner: can act as the pasteboard's delegate in the case of when you promise (but do not actually provide) data when writing your data types to the pasteboard.

What are you trying to do? Seems to me that attempting to become a "permanent" delegate of the general pasteboard in an awakeFromNib method is a very weird thing to do.

Have you read this?:

file:///Developer/Documentation/DocSets/com.apple.ADC_Reference_Library.CoreReference.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CopyandPaste/Articles/pbImplementing.html #//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40004255-SW2

In particular the section on "Lazy Writing". This is about the only time that the delegation pattern is used by NSPasteboard.

Hi,

I am trying to set my object as delegate of
NSPasteBoard. I am calling from awakeFromNib

NSPasteboard *pb = [NSPasteboard generalPasteboard];
[pb setDelegate:self];


However, on running, it raises exception. There is
also a warning at compile time that says NSPasteboard
may not respond to method setDelegate.

Please tell me how can i set my own class as delegate
of NSPasteboard.

Thanx
