The subject line says it all. Anyone come up with any MacApp documents that use Comm. Toolbox? Can it be done without modifying MacApp or copying hundreds of lines from the TApplication methods to make a subclass of TApplication? Will Comm. Toolbox support become standard in future MacApp versions?

MacTerminal 3.0 was written using MacApp. I don't know about the future of MacApp/CTB cooperation, but I assume that CTB will be in some future version of MacApp, since it will be a standard part of the System Software, but I may also be dreaming this entire conversation... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Glenn L.

Yes, I'm working on one, and it's running, just not finished. >Can it be done without modifying MacApp or >copying hundreds of lines from the TApplication methods to make a >subclass of TApplication? You don't need to modify the MacApp Sources, but you have to override a couple methods, but not too many. I don't know them out of my head. The basic idea I'm using are cohanders. You should look into the TEvtHandler implementation to learn more about it. (a cohander is a subclass of TEvtHandler) Another source to give you some ideas is to look into the very old AppleTalk Demo Application that was shipped with MacApp 1.1. Don't use any of the AppleTalk stuff in there, since it is completely outdated, but the theory of operation is interesting. But on the whole, I would love to have the CTB supported in some way in MacApp since I'm not really sure about everything I've done.
