Question

I cannot get this method to return YES:

- (BOOL) writeToPasteBoard:(NSString *)stringToWrite {     return [pasteBoard setString:stringToWrite forType:NSStringPboardType]; } 

I have verified that stringToWrite is coming through properly, the method just always returns NO.

Any ideas?

Here is the rest of the class:

@interface ClipBoard : NSObject {     NSPasteboard *pasteBoard; }  - (BOOL) writeToPasteBoard:(NSString *)stringToWrite; - (NSString *) readFromPasteBoard; @end  @implementation ClipBoard - (id) init {     [super init];     pasteBoard = [NSPasteboard generalPasteboard];     return self; }  - (BOOL) writeToPasteBoard:(NSString *)stringToWrite {     return [pasteBoard setString:stringToWrite forType:NSStringPboardType]; }  - (NSString *) readFromPasteBoard {     return [pasteBoard stringForType:NSStringPboardType]; } 

@end

Here is the working version of the method:

- (BOOL) writeToPasteBoard:(NSString *)stringToWrite {     [pasteBoard declareTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObject:NSStringPboardType] owner:nil];     return [pasteBoard setString:stringToWrite forType:NSStringPboardType]; }
