Rob,

I wrote a series of short articles about this a few months ago. The latest is at <http://lapcatsoftware.com/blog/2007/07/10/working- without-a-nib-part-5-open-recent-menu/>. The technique should still work on Leopard, though it's using a deprecated method. I'll write a new article soon about a non-deprecated technique that works on Leopard.

Hi all,

How do I setup the menu bar if I'm not using Interface Builder? Here's some sample code that pops up a window, but there are no menus.

I could answer this myself if I could see the source code for NSApplicationMain, but that's not available, correct?

thank you,
Rob


#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

int main()
{
    NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    NSApplication *app = [NSApplication sharedApplication];

id window = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect: NSMakeRect (10,10,100,100)
styleMask: NSTitledWindowMask | NSResizableWindowMask | NSClosableWindowMask | NSMiniaturizableWindowMask
backing: NSBackingStoreBuffered
defer: NO];
[window makeKeyAndOrderFront: window];


    id m = [[NSMenu alloc] initWithTitle: @"Test Menu"];
    id mi = [[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle: @"Test Menu Item"
                                action: nil
                                keyEquivalent: @""];
    [m addItem: mi];
    printf ("mainMenu: %p\n", [app mainMenu]);
    [app setMainMenu: m];
    [NSMenu setMenuBarVisible: YES];

    [app run];
    [pool release];
}
