writeSelection(to:type:)

Writes the current selection to the specified pasteboard using the given type.

Declaration

func writeSelection(to pboard: NSPasteboard, type: NSPasteboard.PasteboardType) -> Bool

Parameters

  • pboard:

    The pasteboard to write to.

  • type:

    The type of data to write.

Return Value

true if the data was successfully written, false otherwise.

Discussion

The complete set of data types being written to pboard should be declared before invoking this method.

This method should be invoked only from writeSelection(to:types:). You can override this method to add support for writing new types of data to the pasteboard. You should invoke super’s implementation of the method to handle any types of data your overridden version does not.
