Re: Quit vs Exit
Stewart, Here's the essence of what I do (a lot of irrelevant code chopped out here). I used to have a lot of this in the openStack as opposed to breaking out separate functions. What you don't see here in the abridged version is a lot of other setup stuff that is platform specific. You can streamline it for your application from here: on openStack put whichMachine(platform()) into thisMachine do "setUp"&thisMachine set the maxHeight of this stack to "475" set the maxWidth of this stack to "640" set the resizable of this stack to true end openStack function whichMachine thisPlatform if thisPlatform="MacOS" then set the itemDelimiter to "." -- OS versions are of the form "x.y.z" if item 1 of the systemVersion >= 10 then put "OSX" into thisMachine else put "Mac" into thisMachine end if set the itemDelimiter to "," else if thisPlatform="Linux" then put "Lin" into thisMachine else if thisPlatform="Win32" then put "Win" into thisMachine else if thisPlatform="BSD" then put "BSD" into thisMachine else if thisPlatform="HP-9000/700" then put "HPX" into thisMachine else if thisPlatform="SGI IRIS" then put "Iri" into thisMachine else if thisPlatform="IBM RS/6000" then put "RS6" into thisMachine else if thisPlatform="Intel SVR4" then put "SOL" into thisMachine else if thisPlatform="SPARC" then put "SPC" into thisMachine else if thisPlatform="SPARC Solaris" then put "SSO" into thisMachine else put "???" into thisMachine return thisMachine end whichMachine on setUpMac put "Quit/Q" into line 2 of btn "File" of card "Main" put "Help/?" into line 1 of btn "Help" of card "Main" set the decorations of this stack to default end setUpMac on setUpOSX put "Quit/Q" into line 2 of btn "File" of card "Main" put "Help/?" into line 1 of btn "Help" of card "Main" set the decorations of this stack to default end setUpOSX on setUpWin put "Exit/E" into line 2 of btn "File" of card "Main" put "Help/H" into line 1 of btn "Help" of card "Main" set the decorations of this stack to "minimize, maximize, menu" end setUpWin Best Regards, Tim Ponn Stewart Lynch wrote: In Dan Shaver's book "Revolution, Software at the speed of Thought" he refers to a solution for the Macintosh 'Quit' vs Windows 'Exit' menu option.
