To add the share button on Mountain Lion:
1) Add a NSButton
called, for example, shareButton
.
2) Add the standard image for this button:
[shareButton setImage:[NSImage imageNamed:NSImageNameShareTemplate]];
[shareButton sendActionOn:NSLeftMouseDownMask];
3) Into the "on click action", present the NSSharingServicePicker
:
NSSharingServicePicker *sharingServicePicker = [[NSSharingServicePicker alloc] initWithItems:urls];
sharingServicePicker.delegate = self;
[sharingServicePicker showRelativeToRect:[sender bounds]
ofView:sender
preferredEdge:NSMinYEdge];
4) Eventually, implement the NSSharingServicePickerDelegate
methods to customize the picker’s available services.
In Swift, I've used this:
extension NSSharingService {
class func shareContent ( content: [AnyObject], button: NSButton ) {
let sharingServicePicker = NSSharingServicePicker (items: content )
sharingServicePicker.showRelativeToRect(button.bounds, ofView: button, preferredEdge: NSRectEdge.MaxY)
}
}
Note that if you're trying to add this button via Interface Builder:
It doesn't look right to me in XCode, but works fine when run.
PS - This appears to be a case where you need to use the System Icon string value (NSShareTemplate) instead of the constant (NSImageNameShareTemplate).
