Mac OS X. REALbasic is a great cross-platform tool, but sucks at single platform. These classes alone took me a long time to get right, just for to get toolbar support. In Cocoa - or even unadulterated Carbon - this would have take 15 minutes, rather than 15 days. I'm still a while away from getting Custom View toolbar items working properly, thanks to Mac OS X's reference counting competing with REALbasic's garbage colleciton. It's simply a way to be productive. I really don't need to be wasting my time making a REALbasic application *feel* like a Mac OS X application, when I could just do it right.
Sorry to be blunt, but I haven't been happy with REALbasic the more I use Cocoa. That being said, I'm not giving up on it. In fact, I'm working on a totally new version of HIToolbar which I'm renaming to "Mac OS X Toolbar" - it'll be easier to use, more REALbasic-esqe, and my plan is to support Cocoa REALbasic as well from the same classes. I mean, I've spent time bringing Mac OS X features to REALbasic, and I'm not simply giving up. I plan to maintain both my HIToolbar and Search Field classes. I'll help other developers with this stuff, but for my own development I just need it to work - end of story. -- Thom McGrath, <http://www.thezaz.com/> "You don't need eyes to see, you need vision" - Maxi Jazz in "Reverence" by Faithless On Apr 13, 2007, at 6:10 PM, Ryan Dary wrote: > The site says "switching to Cocoa..." that's a big change.
