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/

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?
I'm not sure if I understand. What is VCL doing with these menu items?
Is it just supressing them? Or does it call any handlers in case of?
Currently we do nothing with it, aside from the Quit entry (which we
handle as a shutdown event). This is an extra menu that every
application gets "gratis". When one of the entries is pressed the menu
handler gets called with fixed IDs. We do not create that menu entry, so
we have currently no means to transport that. I think in OOo terms this
is most similar to a Command event, just this one does not come from
keyboard or scroll wheel but from an extra system menu.
Hi Philipp,
I think using your Command event approach is the best way to go. The
MacOS port has just to make sure that these event are send when the user
selects one of the system menu entries. Just write me an issue if the
premises are implemented and I will add the necessary code for the
framework project.
Regards,
Carsten
