I have an old Carbon app, actually an Acrobat plug-in, built with Xcode 3.2 using PowerPlant. It has a mix of dialogs built with PowerPlant and wxWidgets (both Carbon).
Everything seems to work fine on Yosemite (at least as well as it does on Mavericks), with one pretty glaring problem. Any button marked as default (mostly “OK” buttons) in PowerPlant looks greyed out, i.e. disabled. The button still functions properly; you can click on it or hit Enter and the button click function is invoked. It just appears disabled, which is very confusing for users. Similar buttons on our wxWidgets dialog are fine; they show the blue background color (although they don’t pulsate like on older versions of OS X.) All the other (non-default) buttons on the PowerPlant dialogs look okay. I’ve tried going into the PowerPlant code, where it’s setting kControlPushButtonDefaultTag, and I don’t see any place where it’s doing custom drawing. I can set kControlPushButtonIsTexturedTag on the buttons as well, and they appear with rounded corners, but the default button still appears greyed out. Our tester didn’t see this problem on any of the dev previews of Yosemite; the problem seems to have cropped up only in the public release. Anyone else running into this? Is there anything I can do, other than a custom drawing function, to make the default buttons not appear greyed out? Even if I can’t get them to look blue, if they just look like non-default buttons, that would be a lot better than what I have now. (Obligatory disclaimer that, yes, I know we shouldn’t be using any of this ancient stuff anymore.) Thanks, Dan _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
