5.10.2 MacOSX
Applications that run in Apple's MacOSX must adhere to an strict set of rules. We recommend you to have a look at Apple's (Human Interface Guidelines).Griffon makes it easier to integrate with MacOSX by automatically registering a couple of System properties that make the applicaiton behave like a native oneapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar- if set to true will force the application's menu bar to appear at the top. Griffon sets its value to true.com.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name- sets the name that will appear next to theAboutmenu option.
About, Preferences and Quit menu options. The default handlers will trigger an specific application event each. These events can be disabled with a command flag set in griffon-app/conf/Config.groovy. The following table outlines the events, flags and the default behavior when the flags are enabled| Event | Fired when | Flag | Default behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSXAbout | user activates About menu | osx.noabout | Default about dialog is displayed |
| OSXPrefs | user activates Preferences menu | osx.noprefs | No Preferences menu is available |
| OSXQuit | user activates Quit menu | osx.noquit | Application shutdowns immediately |
