Trouble with Services


  • Subject: Trouble with Services
  • From: Chad Armstrong <email@hidden>

Hello everyone:

I am having some problems getting my application and services to work together nicely.

From what I understand, here is the order that particular functions are called in when the application starts up.

init
awakeFromNib
application (called if files are dropped on application)
applicationDidFinishLaunching
called NSServices method (let's call is myServiceFunction)

My problem results in that there is some code in the applicationDidFinishLaunching function which starts running before the NSService-specified function is called, which is not what I'm trying to do. I was hoping that I could set some boolean variable in myServiceFunction to create a proper code flow in the applicationDidFinishLaunching function.

So, here is what I'm ultimately trying to do.

If a service is called, start the application up, but do not execute specific bits of code within applicationDidFinishLaunching, and then execute the code within the NSService function myServiceFunction.

If the application is started normally, then it starts and does its stuff like normal, but has no interaction with myServiceFunction.

Is there a way to move some of my code out of applicationDidFinishLaunching, yet have it run once the application has opened?

Is there a way to use something like a notification to check if a Service has been called?

Best regards,

Chad Armstrong
