I don't think he meant it to be taken literally! I took it as a tongue-in-cheek way to ask why the OP wants to do this. I found it rather amusing.
However, to answer the question, one can subclass NSApplication, override [NSApplication terminate] and not call super. That doesn't get rid of the menu item, but it does prevent it from quitting the app. And I guess you might beep, too.

I can think of several types of apps that need this. Kiosk apps, security apps, corporate apps, and so forth. I beg of you to stick to the technical on this list. -- Sent from my mobile phone (please excuse any mistakes or short response I might have made) On Feb 23, 2010, at 8:15 AM, Dave Carrigan <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Feb 22, 2010, at 10:33 PM, yogin bhargava wrote: > >> I dont want to allow the user to quit my application except from the >> activity monitor.
