Folks;
I'm making slow progress on what seems like should be a really simple
contextual menu plugin.
Build the 2006 version of Apple's SampleCMPlugin (that's the latest I
could find)
There is a section of code to determine if the current selection is
text (or could be coerced to text):
...
static OSStatus WhoPastePluginExamineContext(void* thisInstance, const
AEDesc* inContext, AEDescList* outCommandPairs ) {
...
if ( inContext ) {
AEDesc theAEDesc = { typeNull, NULL };
...
if ( AECoerceDesc( inContext, typeUTF8Text, &theAEDesc ) ==
noErr ) {
...
Earlier versions of SampleCMPlugin used '(AECoerceDesc( inContext,
typeChar, &theAEDesc )'
No matter what text I select this ALWAYS fails. The plugin NEVER
detects text correctly.
I have set up a generic coerce method and tested for both of these as
well as:
typeUnicodeText, typeStyledText, typeIntlText, typeCFStringRef (They
all fail!)
I admit I'm on thin ice with the AECoerceDesc but it just seems like
it shouldn't be this hard?
I'm using unmodified Apple sample code.... XC3.1.2 on 10.5.7 Intel
(10.5 SDK deploy 10.4)
Can someone clarify how I can correctly determine whether there is
text AND then how to actually obtain the text.
(No Cocoa allowed as this is a .c file!)
Thanks for any help!
Steve
