Not necessarily true. It will not inform you using a delegate,
however your application can just monitor the running applications
using [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace]launchedApplications], which
returns an array of running applications. If you want to see some
sample code from an application that performs an action when an
application is opened or closed, look at AppController.m in this
app : http://mikezornek.com/cocoa/megamaneffect/
I am trying to incorporate code from the ObserveProcessLifeCarbon
and Cocoa in Carbon sample projects and the article in MacTech from
last February on "menulets".
Can anyone point me to some sample code to incorporate NSStatusItem
in Carbon? I am not having much success, and searching the archives
of this list hasn't been very helpful so far.
I would imagine that when searching for how to make an NSStatusItem
in Carbon, a Cocoa mailing list is not the best place to look ;)
