Xojo

Requirements

Xojo is a rapid application development for Desktop, Web, Mobile & Raspberry Pi.

The Desktop application Xojo example project NSSharingService.xojo_project is using:

• Xojo 2026r1.2
• API 2

How to use in your own Xojo project?

1. copy the Module modNSSharingService to your project.
2. you can then use the provided convenience methods:
   1. modNSSharingService.SendViaAirDrop()
   2. modNSSharingService.ComposeMessage()
   3. modNSSharingService.ComposeEmail()

Note:

• These methods return true if the sharing service can be invoked, false if the service is not available.
• The Sharing Service will run asynchrously (e.g. when not called to show modally within a window). That's why you can pass a ResultCallbackDelegate, which will be invoked and reported back with the result later (e.g.: successfully shared, cancelled by user, ...).
