The Customer application you will make in this section lets you drag some text, a customer name, from a list in one window to a target drop site, a push button, in a separate window. After the text is dropped, the customer name appears in a text pane on the target window. When complete, the application looks as follows:

Generate default scripts for all of the variables and selectors, then save your part and move to the Script Editor.

Create a private instance method named printOn::
