Let me be more precise this time. I haven't used pasteboards before. I think i asked wrong question.
Actually i want my application to be notified whenever there is a new text copied/cutted. So that i can paste it in my application. So please guide me how that can be achieved? (with or without delegates. whatever works) Thank you for your patience. --- Graham Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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?
