Re: Doing an About Menu item

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Thanks, Richard. I should have thought of that, since that is what  
FutureBasic does as well. I looked all over the Documentation, but  
never got around to checking Help, which may have something about this.

Mac is the only OS that has an Apple menu (and not even that  
anymore, now that they've split the Apple menu with the new  
application menu). All other OSes put the "About..." item as the  
last item of the Help menu.


Just make your last menu named "Help", make its last item named  
"About...", and Rev automatically moves it to the correct positions  
for both Classic and OS X.

Doing an About Menu item

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Anyone know what we do to display an About Window? I've created one  
as a sub-stack, but can't figure how to show it from the Apple Menu.  
I tried to Create an Apple Menu, but the Menu Builder won't won't  
cooperate.


TIA,

Joe

Thanks, Joe,

I've seen Cross Over Mac, and I'd love to not have Windows, but  
what I need is to be able to test Rev-created standalones in an  
actual Windows environment with all the associated caveats an end  
user might encounter.  I'm not sure I can see this solution giving  
me a test environment... not even sure with Parallels.  Maybe Boot  
Camp is the only way to get an honest evaluation.   What do you think?

Mark, I'm about to do the same and am looking at "Cross Over Mac" at:




It appears that it's still quite THERE, but I like the idea of not  
having to have Windows.

Re: "About" menu item

(MacOSX 10.3.5, Rev 2.5, no menu bar defined in the rev stack)
You need to define a menu bar first. In the Help menu, the last two 
items should be a separator line and your "About" menu item. (It's 
done this way for cross-platform compatibility. On Windows and Unix, 
the About item is in the Help menu; on Mac OS and OS X, it's 
automatically moved to the proper place in the Apple menu or 
application menu.)

The menuPick handler for your Help menu will then respond to choosing 
the About menu item, no matter where it's displayed on the current 
platform.
