Any good suggestions on how to integrate NSServices into an
application. Of two books I've looked through (Cocoa Applications
and Cocoa Programming by Anguish/Yachtman, etc.) they seem to
approach NSServices differently so I'm a little murky on how to
attack things first. Can it be as simple as just editing the
app's .plist, or is there generally a decent amount of internal
programming, too?
To use Services as client, you don't need to do anything (well, it is
a bit more complicated, but generally Cocoa classes do well; check
also registerServicesMenuSendTypes:returnTypes:,
validRequestorForSendType:returnType:, and
writeSelectionToPasteboard:types:.
To provide Services as server, you need
(a) to set up the plist (NSMenuItem, NSPortName, NSMessage,
NSSendTypes, NSReturnTypes);
(b) to implement appropriate methods:
-setServicesProvider: -- registes the object which provides
Services
-<service name>:userData:error: -- sent to the Provider.
(the <service name> is set up in the plist as NSMessage).
