- To: Whomever can aid or abet me:
-
- I may be missing some obvious things and I apologize if I am, but I have some
- questions about specific actions in MacApp.
-
- 1. Is there a simple MacApp way to determine if a mouse down is part of a
- double click. If at all possible, I'd like to catch the first click of the
- pair.
-
- 2. When I bring up a modal dialog, my cursor changes from an arrow to an I-beam
- below and to the left of where my text area is actually defined. I was
- wondering if anybody has seen anything like this before.
-
- 3. Also concerning dialogs, is there a simple way to indicate that the dialog
- should be centered. If not, I'd like to add this option to the MacApp wish
- list. It could possibly be a parameter in IDialogView.
-
- 4. Is there a recommended way to get an SFGetBox to appear on the screen upon
- start up of an application? It is required that the menu bar be on the screen.
- The method we employed was a combination of a global variable which we set if
- the application icon was selected and the Idle method for the application.
- This works, however, as is obvious we are checking a global variable in each
- idle cycle for the entire life of the application ... slow ... if there are any
- cleaner/more efficient solutions, please let us know.
-
- Thanks for any help,
-
