Hi All, Just wanted to announce a small update to my Carbon Events plugin, this should do it for a while. 1.2 adds & changes the following: - Added SheetChangedOrigin() event when live resizing is installed; very useful when a sheet is shown and you don't want the window to jump back to it's old location. However, it can quickly cause a stack over flow exception you must handle it accordingly. - Added IndentDockMenuItem() to allow indenting dock menu items. -RemoveDockMenu() now removes the dock menu event handler when called, this will allow you to use the method whenever you want, not just at Close. - Changed the commandIDs for the Dock menu to better avoid responding to other menu events. The plugin can be downloaded here: http://homepage.mac.com/everyday/code/ Lastly, if there is something in OS X that you would like to see added to this plugin, please let me know and I'll see what I can do. Cheers, Will C.
