=========================================================================== DESCRIPTION:

This example shows how to use pasteboard and services APIs for Mac OS X v10.6 and later.

The example is a document-based application which serves as a "typing assistant". Each document contains a collection of text snippets which you can insert in turn into another application using a service. When creating a document, you can import text snippets also using a service.

The application uses the pasteboard to support copy and paste and drag and drop. Drag and drop is illustrated using a subclass of NSArrayController in conjunction with Cocoa bindings.

=========================================================================== BUILD REQUIREMENTS:

Xcode 3.2 or later, Mac OS X v10.6 or later.

=========================================================================== RUNTIME REQUIREMENTS:

Mac OS X v10.6 or later.

=========================================================================== PACKAGING LIST:

MyDocument.{h,m} Document object to manage a collection of text snippets; the snippets may be displayed in one or two windows:

• A window managed by a DisplayController window controller which is solely for display purposes;
• Optionally, a window managed by an EditController window controller, which is used for editing the snippets.

DisplayController.{h,m} A window controller to display the titles of the text snippets.

EditController.{h,m} A window controller to manage editing the text snippets.

AppDelegate.{h,m} Application delegate class to act as the Services provider. Services requests are routed to the current main document. The delegate also manages the application's preferences.

DMKArrayController.{h,m} An array controller subclass to manage a collection of text snippets, including support for drag and drop.

Step.{h,m} A model object to represent a text snippet. The class conforms to the NSCoding, NSPasteboardReading, and NSPasteboardWriting protocols so that instances can be used with archives and written to and read from a pasteboard.
