I'm working on a Cocoa app that needs Carbon windows. I was hoping to
use the techniques from Apple's CarbonInCocoa sample
<
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/CarbonInCocoa/
CarbonInCocoa.html> but they seem incomplete.
I need my carbon windows to be full-on, first class windows, complete
with minimizability and closeability from the Close menu item. I just
want them to work like Cocoa windows, a reasonable expectation.
Curiously, in Apple's CarbonInCocoa sample, the carbon window's close,
minimize, and zoom buttons are disabled. So I turned them on (in the
nib file) and found that the close and minimize were disabled for a
reason: they don't work correctly.
Here's what's broken (that I've found so far):
- choosing close from the file menu doesn't close the carbon window
- the minimize menu item in the Window menu is disabled for the carbon
window
- every other time (!) you click in the carbon window's minimize button
the app seems to hang for a bit (spinning beach ball) and the window
fails to minimize. If you wait for the beach ball to go away, you can
again click in the minimize button and it works correctly.
I have read the relevant sections in
<
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/
CarbonCocoaDoc/carboncocoa.pdf> but they are silent on how to make
Carbon windows first class peers with Cocoa windows.
I really need to know how to properly integrate Carbon windows in a
Cocoa app. Any help appreciated.
