Where to find the documenation that I need


  • Subject: Where to find the documenation that I need
  • From: "Bryan Robinson" <email@hidden>

I am new to Cocoa, so I do not really know where to find some information I
am looking for.  I have been browsing through the documentation for Cocoa,
but I have not had much like finding what I need.

What I am want to do:  Let's say I have another app and the user selects
some text or graphics or something.  I would like for the user to be able to
prest Cntl-Shift-<button> to pass that selected data to my service, or be
able to select the service from the services menu.  Even better would be
right-clicking on the selected data and being able to send it to my service.

Is it possible to receive that selected data from another app?  Does that
appilcation have to support my service in order to "copy" that data?

Also, there are all sorts of launcher programs that can be run with the
press of a button.  I am also curious how that functionality is achieved.
Are they simply services?

I apologize if these are rather basic questions, but I just don't know where
to find the answers.  Thank you for your time and help.

Regards,
Bryan
