Hi,
I wouldn't want to burden MenuBar with that because conceptionally it
has nothing to do with that. I'd like to create a create a new
CommandEvent that you would get through :Notify on the active
WorkWindow, which should trigger the respective dialog. We already have
that mechanism for triggering special functions (like hangul conversion).
Does that sound reasonable ?
Just my 2 cents, pl

Hi,
in native Mac OS X application the so called "Application menu" has
two menu items - About and Preferences (see e.g.
http://tinyurl.com/286gao).
Click on About menu item and/or Preferences... item is cought in VCL.
We would like to be able to send events to handle these actions to the
application. Ie. we want to have something like SALEVENT_SHUTDOWN for
Quit menu item and handle it somewhere in framework.
How to do that? Can you please help us to do so?
Hi Pavel,
That's not an easy task to do. The framework module creates a VCL menu
bar and fills the menu bar with items which contain command URLs that
will be mapped to the correct code. You want to fill a system menu where
no framework code is involved. That's a complete new approach. I would
propose to extend the VCL menu bar class. It should provide two
additional handlers for About and Preferences which will be triggered by
code/events activated by your MacOS X VCL implementation. I can extend
the framework code to map these handlers to the correct commands. I
think we should discuss this with Philipp Lohmann. May be he has a
better idea to solve this problem.
class VCL_DLLPUBLIC MenuBar : public Menu
{
Link maCloserHdl;
Link maFloatHdl;
Link maHideHdl;
/* New */
Link maPreferenceHdl;
Link maAboutHdl;
/* New */
...
void SetCloserHdl( const Link& rLink );
const Link& GetCloserHdl() const;
void SetFloatButtonClickHdl( const Link& rLink );
const Link& GetFloatButtonClickHdl() const;
void SetHideButtonClickHdl( const Link& rLink );
const Link& GetHideButtonClickHdl() const;
/* New */
void SetAboutHdl( const Link& rLink );
const Link& GetAboutHdl() const;
void SetPreferenceHdl( const Link& rLink );
const Link& GetPreferenceHdl() const;
/* New */
...
}
Regards,
Carsten
