Edit menu localisation, default application menu

It turns out, and I'm sure this will surprise nobody but me, that for the copy/paste/cut keyboard commands to work in Cocoa my app needs to have a suitable Edit menu with copy/paste/cut menu items and keyboard equivalents. My question is about localisation. The app is localised via its own string f

Hi all, I've got application (Mac Application Store, deployment target >= 10.8), which has LSUIElement set to YES in Info.plist. It's status bar application. I do open windows without menu in menu bar and app icon is not visible in dock, cycling, … Just what I need. But now, I've got one win

Re: Application Menu

To be pedantic: You _can_ customize the title of the app menu at build time, by changing the CFBundleDisplayName property in the app’s Info.plist. (You can also change this in the strings file for the plist if you want the value to be language-dependent.) This is pretty commonly done for apps th

I am trying to change the name of the application menu (terminology?). I have subclassed NSApplication and in its awakeFromNIb I setTitle on the IBOutlet NSMenuItem that is connected to this menu. It does not change. Can this be done? If so, where? I have also tried to setTitle in the app

First, thanks to all for a great discussion / learning experience ! It seems cleaner to me to put the preferences window in a separate NIB and have the app delegate create the window controller that loads the separate NIB. Is the approach I have taken ... works great ! On Feb 24, 2010, at

Arun, my advice is the same. To identify which menu (if any) should get the Search field, AppKit examines the actions of the items in that menu. If a menu contains an item with the showHelp: action, then AppKit concludes that menu is the Help menu, and it will get the Search field. -Pet
