hi all, oh man i hate to belabor this issue but i have studied every suggestion and the docs and i cannot figure this out
the problem is that i cannot get command keys to work on dialog text, even dialogs run and managed by cocoa as suggested i set the target for my menu items to nil, and also made sure that in my app menu bar the needed items were active after doing this when a dialog is up and you cut text you see the menu flash, there is no beep, but the text is still not cut if a dialog is not up and you hit command-x you also see the menu flash and there is no beep, so this was perhaps imaginary progress i have various other windows in my app for text editing and all of them work fine and get their command keys no problem in textedit for example the text in the open file dialog can be edited with the app menu, and the menu reacts to the text, for example you can't cut if there is no selection my menus have setAutoEnablesItems:NO and i enable them as needed but they are enabled when dialogs are up i'm not sure the issues raised so far are related to the problem. its as if the dialogs in my app are not in the responder chain for key events best bill On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 10:44 AM, Kyle Sluder <kyle.slu...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 10:30 AM, Bill Appleton > <billapple...@dreamfactory.com> wrote: > > hi all > > > > i set the target and the action on my menu items -- this is so that i can > > get my handler called when someone selects a menu item > > i will re-read the event handler docs with regard to menu items (no > keyboard > > issues) and see if that helps > > Ah, there's your problem.
