Intercepting or preventing a menu choice


  • Subject: Intercepting or preventing a menu choice
  • From: Steve <email@hidden>

I have a face span application that works as a floating palette in Xpress
4.11. It flight-checks the current document based on company guidelines and
works perfectly.


However, there's currently no system in place that makes a user run it. They
can close documents or print them without doing the flight check.

An ideal solution would be either to have the actions intercepted (probably
too system-level for AppleScript to intercept) or to disable the Close,
Print and Save menu items until the Flight Check button has been pushed. I
found an command in Akua Sweets that I thought would do this, but I can't
get it to work (edit menu "File" at "Close" without enabling - doesn't
produce an error, but doesn't do anything.)

If anyone is aware of a way I can achieve this, can you let me know? Either
disabling & re-enabling, intercepting or some other way?

Thanks,

Steve
