Sarah's commandKeyDown trap doesn't seem to work, which is why I'm puzzled. Marty: Ken's method would work to prevent the user from quitting Rev, but I was hoping to find a more general method that I might use to trap various Apple events such as Command-P and Command- W. Again - I'm sure that I used a solution like Sarah's once upon a time, but it doesn't seem to work now. Obviously this wasn't an issue at all in MetaCard...

Cheers,
Jason

In my experience, trapping for a quit message on OS X is not reliable. It works most of the time, but not all of the time. Ken's method, which my previous post referred to, is the only method that I've found to be reliable. Specifically, his "Brute force" method. (He details 2 methods on his site.)

How about trapping the commandKeyDown message?

on commandKeyDown pKey
if pKey = "Q" then
    answer "You are not allowed to quit :-)"
else
    pass commandKeyDown
end if
end commandKeyDown


HTH,
Sarah

Can someone tell me how to prevent a user from using Command-q to quit Revolution? I'm sure that I used to be able to do it, but not anymore. Did something change?
