Hi Ken This seems more like an OS behavior than a Rev problem doesn't it?
It sure should be made aware for those developping on PCs hoping to deploy on osx... While disabling a whole menu is "easier", I always did the single menuitem check on mouseenter to see if it should or not be enabled... So i guess a little global-OS HIG is in order ;) just my two cents Xav > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Ray > Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2005 08:04 > To: Use Revolution List > Subject: Bad Idea To Disable an 'Edit' Menu > > Just passing along an interesting tidbit of information that > I just ran > into: > > If your application has an 'Edit' menu AND it has a > 'Preferences' menu item AND you deploy to Mac OS X, then you > should never disable the entire Edit menu (you should leave > the menu itself enabled, but individually disable the items > you want to prevent users from executing). > > The reason is that under OS X, the Preferences menu item > disappears from the bottom of the Edit menu and appears under > the Application menu.
