Re: taking control of the screen and "locking" onto one window

I've run hundreds of apps with license agreements, and none of them locked my screen and disabled app switching. That seems rude and unnecessary.

FWIW, most apps that are distributed on the web that need license agreements include the license agreement as part of the DMG. When the user opens a DMG, OS X can automatically display the license agreement and Agree/Disagree buttons with zero code on your part. All you need to do is supply an RTF file with the license text in it. Check out any third-party DMG creation tool for more details.

I want to make the user click one of two buttons on my window before
being able to do anything else. The window is a license agreement. I
want to disable the menu bar and make it impossible for the user to do
anything else, including switching apps. How do I do this? I tried
setMenuBarVisible but it complains that that selector isn't
recognized.

Thanks, Alan
