Re: Launch app from MacOSX system bar
Josep, That's not really what's happening. Whenever you choose an item from the menus in the top-right, the menu item selection is handled by a programme (e.g. a Rev standalone). This programme can launch another programme. Do you have a problem creating a menu icon in the top-right or do you have a problem launching another programme? -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce Create installers for Mac and Windows on *every* Rev-compatible platform.

Re: Launch app from MacOSX system bar
Hi Josep, You need to create an statusIcon (according o the release notes). For example: on preOpenStack set statusIcon to 23001 set the statusIconMenu to Open Programme|openStandalone end preOpenStack and you need a script that handles the menu selection: on iconMenuPick theItem switch theItem case openStandalone launch path/to/your/standalone break case somethingElse -- do something else here break case quit quit break end switch end iconMenuPick Keep these scripts in a separate standalone, which runs all the time. Whenever the menu item Open Standalone is selected, the iconMenuPick handler runs and opens your main standalone. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce Create installers for Mac and Windows on *every* Rev-compatible platform.

Re: Launch app from MacOSX system bar
Hi Mark, And how I put the standalone into de status bar as status item? As NSStatusItem? Maybe I don't explain myself or I don't understand you..., I refer to put the item to the status bar as Airport icon, Monitor icon, the time, the spotlight, and clicking from this show options and one of them was launch the standalone...

Josep, Apparently, you don't know that you can do this with RR 4.5 now.

Re: Launch app from MacOSX system bar
Hi Josep and Marc, according to the 4.5 Release Notes (page 10-11) this feature is 1. experimental, which is better than unsupported :-) BUT 2. currently only implemented into the Windows version!

Re: Launch app from MacOSX system bar
From the v4.5 release notes:
Status icon support (experimental)
Windows, Linux and Mac OS X all have an area where so-called 'status
icons' can be displayed. On Windows this is the system tray on the
bottom right of the start bar, on Linux this is typically the right of
the panel at the top of the screen, and on Mac OS X this is on the menubar.
The engine has support for adding a single status icon, and it can be
configured using the statusIcon, the statusIconTooltip and the
statusIconMenu:
set the statusIcon to imageId set the statusIconMenu to iconMenuSpec set
the statusIconToolTip to toolTip
Here imageId is the id of the image you wish to use as the icon. It will
be scaled down automatically to the appropriate size for the platform
and then set. The toolTip specifies what message appears when the user
hovers over the status icon.
The iconMenuSpec allows you to configure a menu that will appear when
the user does a 'menu' click on the icon. This string uses a subset of
the standard engine menu specification:
[ tab * ] [ '(' ] label [ '|' tag ] Here the number of tabs
determines the depth of the menu (i.e. use this to create sub-menus).
The optional tag is used when calling the statusIconMenuPick message.
Before the engine displays the status icon menu, it will send a
statusIconMenuOpening menu to the current card of the defaultStack. You
can use this opportunity to change the icon menu before it is displayed,
this is an analog to handling mouseDown in a menu button.
When the user selects an item from the dock menu, the engine will send
an statusIconMenuPick message to the current card of the default stack:
iconMenuPick which Here which will be a list of labels or tags (if
specified) separated by '|' which determines which item
was selected. In addition, the engine will send the following message in
response to clicks on the icon:
statusIconMenuClick button
statusIconMenuDoubleClick button
You can use these to perform an appropriate action.
Note: If you wish to display a menu from the status icon you must use
the statusIconMenu property, attempting to open a normal popup menu in
response to one of the click messages is not guaranteed to work.
Note: This syntax is only implemented on Windows at the moment and
replaces the previously unsupported use of the icon and the iconMenu for
this purpose. The properties specified above will have no effect on Mac
OS X and Linux at this time.
Important: This feature is currently experimental. This means that it
may not be complete, or may fail in some circumstances that you would
expect it to work. Please do not be afraid to try it out as we need
feedback to develop it further.
