<chapter>
<heading>The pasteboard system</heading>
<p>
The pasteboard system is the core of OpenStep inter-application
communications. This chapter is concerned with the use of the system,
for detailed reference see the [NSPasteboard] class.<br />
For non-standard services provided by applications (ie those which
do not fit the general <em>services</em> mechanism described below),
you generally use the Distributed Objects system (see [NSConnection])
directly, and some hints about that are provided at the end of this
chapter.
</p>
<section>
<heading>Cut and Paste</heading>
<p>
The most obvious use of the pasteboard system is to support cut and
paste of text and other data, permitting the user to take selected
information from a document open in an application, and move it
around in the same document, or to another document open in the same
application, or to a document open in another application entirely.
</p>
<p>
While some objects (eg instances of [NSText]) will handle cut and
paste for you automatically, you may often need to do this yourself
in your own classes. The mechanism for this is quite simple, and
should be done in a method called when the user selects the
<em>Cut</em> or <em>Copy</em> item on the <em>Edit</em> menu.<br />
The methods to do this should be called <em>cut:</em> and <em>copy:</em>
respectively, and will be called automatically when the menu items
are selected.
</p>
<list>
<item>
<strong>Select a pasteboard to use</strong><br />
There some standard pasteboards, or you can obtain or create other
ones with the [NSPasteboard+pasteboardWithName:] method.<br />
Usually you will want to use a standard pasteboard such as
the one returned by the [NSPasteboard+generalPasteboard] method.
<example>
NSPasteboard *pb = [NSPasteboard generalPasteboard];
</example>
</item>
<item>
<strong>Declare ownership and types</strong><br />
When you are going to supply data for pasting, you must take
ownership of the pasteboard and specify what types of data can
be provided. If you are going to place the data on the pasteboard
immediately, you don't need to set a pasteboard owner, but if
you plan to supply the data <em>lazily</em> (ie on-demand), you
need to specify an object which the system can ask to provide
the data when it needs it. In either case, you need to say what
kinds of data the pasteboard will supply, and you use the
[NSPasteboard-declareTypes:owner:] method to do this.
<example>
// Provide string data immediately.
[pb declareTypes: [NSArray arrayWithObject: NSStringPboardType]
owner: nil];
[pb setString: myString forType: NSStringPboardType];
</example>
</item>
<item>
<strong>Provide data for pasting</strong><br />
If you decided to provide data lazily (recommended) then the
pasteboard owner you declared will be asked to provide the
data when it is needed for pasting.
<example>
- (void) pasteboard: (NSPasteboard*)pb provideDataForType: (NSString*)type
{
// Place the data needed for pasting onto the pasteboard.
[pb setData: data forType: type];
}
</example>
</item>
<item>
<strong>Support multiple types</strong><br />
Normally, it is best to support pasting of multiple types of data
so that the object into which the data is being pasted can handle
the pasted information readily. To do this it is conventional to
supply data in the <em>richest</em> possible format in the cut:
or copy: method, and supply other forms of data lazily.
<example>
// Supply RTF data to the pasteboard system.
- (id) copy: (id)sender
{
NSPasteboard *pb = [NSPasteboard generalPasteboard];
[pb declareTypes: [NSArray arrayWithObjects: NSRTFPboardType,
NSStringPboardType, nil]
owner: nil];
[pb setData: myData forType: NSRTFPboardType];
}
</example>
The providing object can retrieve the data initially stored in the
pasteboard, and set the type of data actually needed.
<example>
- (void) pasteboard: (NSPasteboard*)pb provideDataForType: (NSString*)type
{
if ([type isEqualToString: NSStringPboardType] == YES)
{
NSData *d = [pb dataForType: NSRTFPboardType];
NSString *s = [self convertToString: d];
[pb setString: s forType: NSStringPboardType];
}
else
{
// Unsupported type ... should not happen
[pb setData: nil forType: type];
}
}
</example>
</item>
</list>
<p>
Similarly, when the user selects the <em>Paste</em> item on the
<em>Edit</em> menu, the <em>paste:</em> method in your code will
be called, and this method should retrieve data from the pasteboard
and insert it into your custom object so that the user can see it.
</p>
<list>
<item>
<strong>Retrieve data from pasteboard</strong>
<example>
- (id) paste: (id)sender
{
NSPasteboard *pb = [NSPasteboard generalPasteboard];
NSString *info = [pb stringForType: NSStringPboardType];
// Now make use of info
return self;
}
</example>
</item>
</list>
</section>
<section>
<heading>Drag and Drop</heading>
<p>
The drag and drop system for transferring data is in essence a simple
extension of copy and paste, where the data being dragged is a
copy of some initially selected data, and the location to which it is
pasted depends on where it is dropped.<br />
To support drag and drop, you use a few standard methods to interact
with pasteboards, but you need to extend this with DnD specific methods
to handle the drag and drop process.
</p>
</section>
<section>
<heading>Services</heading>
<p>
The services system provides a standardised mechanism for an application
to provide services to other applications. Like cut and paste, or
drag and drop, the use of an application service is normally initiated
by the user selecting some data to work with. The user then goes to
the services menu, and selects a service listed there. The selection
of a menu item causes the data to be placed on a pasteboard and
transferred to the service providing application, where the action of
the service is performed on it, and resulting data transferred back
to the original system via the pasteboard system again.
</p>
<p>
To make use of a service then, you typically need to make <em>no</em>
changes to your application, making the services facility supremely
easy to deal with!<br />
If however, you wish to make use of a service programmatically (rather
than from the services menu), you can use the NSPerformService()
function to invoke the service directly ...
</p>
<example>
// Create a pasteboard and store a string in it.
NSPasteboard *pb = [NSPasteboard pasteboardWithUniqueName];
[pb declareTypes: [NSArray arrayWithObject: NSStringPboardType]
owner: nil];
[pb setString: myString forType: NSStringPboardType];
// Invoke a service which takes string input and produces data output.
if (NSPerformService(@"TheServiceName", pb) == YES)
{
result = [pb dataForType: NSGeneralPboardType];
}
</example>
<p>
Providing a service is a bit trickier, it involves implementing a
method to perform the service (usually in your [NSApplication-delegate]
object) and specifying information about your service in the Info.plist
file for your application.<br />
When your application is installed in one of the standard locations,
and the <em>make_services</em> tool is run to update the cache of
services information, your service automatically becomes available
on the services menu of every application you run.<br />
At runtime, you use [NSApplication-setServicesProvider:] to specify
the object which implements the method to perform the service,
or, if you are providing the service from a process other than a
GUI application, you use the NSRegisterServicesProvider() function.
</p>
<p>
Your Info.plist should contain an array named <code>NSServices</code>
listing all the services your application provides. Each service
definition should be a dictionary containing the following information -
</p>
<deflist>
<term>NSSendTypes</term>
<desc>
This is an array containing the string values of the types of
data that the service provider can handle (ie the types of data
the application requesting the service may send).<br />
The string values are the same as the standard constant names
for these types, so the string "NSStringPboardType" would match
the use of the <code>NSStringPboardType</code> in your code.<br />
Similarly, the functions NSCreateFileContentsPboardType() and
NSCreateFilenamePboardType() return types whose string values
are found by appending the filename extension concerned to the
strings "NSTypedFileContentsPboardType:" and
"NSTypedFilenamesPboardType:" respectively.
</desc>
<term>NSReturnTypes</term>
<desc>
These are the types of data that the service provider may return
and are specified in the same way as the NSSendTypes.<br />
NB. A service must handle at least one send type or one return type,
but it is OK to have a service which expects no input data or one
which produces no output data.
</desc>
<term>NSMessage</term>
<desc>
This mandatory string value is the interesting part of
the message which is sent to your service provider in
order to perform the service.<br />
The method in your application which does the work, must take three
arguments and have a name formed of this value followed by
<code>:userData:error:</code>
<example>
// If NSMessage=encryptData
- (void) encryptString: (NSPasteboard*)pboard
userData: (NSString*)userData
error: (NSString**)error;
</example>
This method will be pass the pasteboard to use and an optional
user data string, and must return results in the pasteboard, or
an error message in the error argument.
</desc>
<term>NSPortName</term>
<desc>
This specifies the name of the Distributed Objects port
(see [NSConnection] and [NSPort]) on which the service provider
will be listening for messages. While its value depends on how
you register the service, it is normally the name of the application
providing the service. This information is required in order for
other applications to know how to contact the service provider.
</desc>
<term>NSUserData</term>
<desc>
This is an optional arbitrary string which (if present) is passed
as the userData argument to the method implementing the service.
This permits a service provider to implement a single method to
handle a variety of similar services, whose exact characteristics
are determined by this parameter.
</desc>
<term>NSMenuItem</term>
<desc>
This is a dictionary containing language names and the text to
appear in the services menu for each language. It may contain
an entry where the language name is <code>default</code> and
this entry will be used where none of the specific languages
listed are found in the application user's preferences.<br />
These text items may contain a single slash ('/') character,
and if this is present, the text after the slash will appear
in a submenu of the services menu, with the text before the
slash being the name of that submenu. This is very useful
where a single application provides a variety of services and
wishes to group them together.
</desc>
<term>NSKeyEquivalent</term>
<desc>
This is an optional dictionary specifying the key equivalents to
select the menu items listed in the NSMenuItem specification.
</desc>
<term>NSTimeout</term>
<desc>
This is an optional timeout (in milliseconds) specifying how long
the system should wait for the service provider to perform the
service. If omitted, it defaults to 30000 (30 seconds).
</desc>
<term>NSExecutable</term>
<desc>
This is an optional path to the executable binary of the program
which performs the service .. it's used to launch the program if
it is not already running. Normally, for an application, this is
not necessary, as the system knows how to launch any applications
found installed in standard locations.
</desc>
<term>NSHost</term>
<desc>
Not yet implemented ... this provides for the system to launch the
executable for this service on a different host on the network.
</desc>
</deflist>
<p>
The actual code to implement a service is very simple, even with
error checking added -
</p>
<example>
- (void) encryptString: (NSPasteboard*)pboard
userData: (NSString*)userData
error: (NSString**)error
{
NSString *d;
if ([pboard types] containsObject: NSStringPboardType] == NO)
{
*error = @"Bad types for encrypt service ... no string data";
return;
}
s = [pboard stringForType: NSStringPboardType];
if ([d length] == 0)
{
*error = @"No data supplied for encrypt service";
return;
}
s = [self encryptString: s]; // Do the real work
[pboard declareTypes: [NSArray arrayWithObject: NSStringPboardType
owner: nil];
[pboard setString: s forType: NSStringPboardType];
return;
}
</example>
</section>
<section>
<heading>Filter services</heading>
<p>
A filter service is a special case of an inter-application service.
Its action is to take data of one type and convert it to another
type. Unlike general services, this is not directly initiated by
user action clicking on an item in the services menu (indeed, filter
services do not appear on the services menu), but is instead performed
transparently when the application asks the pasteboard system for
data of a particular type, but the pasteboard only contains data of
some other type.
</p>
<p>
A filter service definition in the Info.plist file differs from that
of a standard service in that the <em>NSMessage</em> entry is replaced
by an <em>NSFilter</em> entry, the <em>NSMenuItem</em> and
<em>NSKeyEquivalent</em> entries are omitted, and a few other entries
may be added -
</p>
<deflist>
<term>NSFilter</term>
<desc>
This is the first part of the message name for the method
which actually implements the filter service ... just like
the NSMessage entry in a normal service.
</desc>
<term>NSInputMechanism</term>
<desc>
This (optional) entry is a string value specifying an alternative
mechanism for performing the filer service (instead of sending a
message to an application to ask it to do it).<br />
Possible values are -
<deflist>
<term>NSIdentity</term>
<desc>
The data to be filtered is simply placed upon the pasteboard
without any transformation.
</desc>
<term>NSMapFile</term>
<desc>
The data to be filtered is the name of a file, which is
loaded into memory and placed on the pasteboard without
any transformation.<br />
If the data to be filtered contains multiple file names,
only the first is used.
</desc>
<term>NSUnixStdio</term>
<desc>
The data to be filtered is the name of a file, which is
passed as the argument to a unix command-line program,
and the standard output of that program is captured and
placed on the pasteboard. The program is run each time
data is requested, so this is inefficient in comparison
to a filter implemented using the standard method (of
sending a message to a running application).<br />
If the data to be filtered contains multiple file names,
only the first is used.
</desc>
</deflist>
</desc>
</deflist>
<p>
Filter services are used implicitly whenever you get a pasteboard
by using one of the methods +pasteboardByFilteringData:ofType:,
+pasteboardByFilteringFile: or +pasteboardByFilteringTypesInPasteboard:
as the pasteboard system will automatically invoke any available
filter to convert the data in the pasteboard to any required
type as long as a conversion can be done using a single filter.

<heading>Distributed Objects services</heading>
<p>
While the general <em>services</em> mechanism described above
covers most eventualities, there are some circumstances where
you might want your application to offer more complex services
which require the client application to have been written to
make use of those services and where the interaction between
the two is much trickier.
</p>
<p>
In most cases, such situations are handled by server processes
rather than GUI applications, thus avoiding all the overheads
of a GUI application ... linking with the GUI library and
using the windowing system etc. On occasion you may actually
want the services to use facilities from the GUI library
(such as the [NSPasteboard] or [NSWorkspace] class).
</p>
<p>
Traditionally, NeXTstep and GNUstep applications permit you to
connect to an application using the standard [NSConnection]
mechanisms, with the name of the port you connect to being
(by convention) the name of the application. The root proxy
of the NSConnection obtained this way would be the
[NSApplication-delegate] object, and any messages sent to
this object would be handled by the application delegate.
</p>
<p>
In the interests of security, GNUstep provides a mechanism to
ensure that <em>only</em> those methods you explicitly want to
be available to remote processes are actually available.<br />
Those methods are assumed to be any of the standard application
methods, and any methods implementing the standard <em>services</em>
mechanism (ie. methods whose names begin <code>application:</code>
or end with <code>:userData:error:</code>), plus any methods
listed in the array returned by the
<code>GSPermittedMessages</code> user default.<br />
If your application wishes to make non-standard methods available,
it should use [NSUserDefaults-registerDefaults:] to set a standard
value for GSPermittedMessages. Users of the application can then
use the defaults system to override that standard setting for the
application in order to reduce or increase the list of messages
available to remote processes.
</p>
<p>
To make use of a service, you need to check to ensure that the
application providing the service is running, connect to it,
and then send messages to it. You should take care to catch
exceptions and deal with a loss of connection to the server
application.<br />
As an aid to using the services, GNUstep provides a helper function
(GSContactApplication()) which encapsulates the process of
establishing a connection and
launching the server application if necessary.
</p>
<example>
id proxy = GSContactApplication(@"pathToApp", nil, nil);
if (proxy != nil)
{
NS_EXCEPTION
{
id result = [proxy performTask: taskName withArgument: anArgument];
if (result == nil)
{
// handle error
}
else
{
// Use result
}
}
NS_HANDLER
// Handle exception
NS_ENDHANDLER
}
</example>
<p>
If we want to send repeated messages, we may store the proxy to
server application, and might want to keep track of the state of
the connection to be sure that the proxy is still valid.
</p>
<example>
ASSIGN(remote, proxy);
// We want to keep hold of the proxy for use later, so we need to know
// if the connection dies ... we ask for a notification to call our
// connectionBecameInvalid: method when the connection dies ... in that
// method we can release the proxy.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver: self
selector: @selector(connectionBecameInvalid:)
name: NSConnectionDidDieNotification
object: [remote connectionForProxy]];
</example>
