Following the tips described on this page: Making good Eclipse RCP apps for Mac, I was able to add two modifications into the SWT rendering engine of scout.

Sheet style for message box
index.php/fa/6323/0/

Notification of unsaved changes
index.php/fa/6324/0/
Reacting on IForm.PROP_SAVE_NEEDED in handleScoutPropertyChange(..)


For now this changes are implemented in my application, by overriding some methods of the AbstractSwtEnvironment in my SwtEnvironment.

Any interest in a patch for the common SWT UI plug-in ?

Hi Jérémie

As a Mac user I'm very interested in your patch! Could you please open a bug and attach the patches?

Thanks
Claudio

I need to try the effects on windows first...

If it is only usefull in Mac OS X, it is possible to use the JFace Util class to determine whether the application is running on a Mac or not: Util.isMac()

I opened the bug 365809 for the first point:
Jeremie Bresson wrote on Sat, 03 December 2011 12:06

Notification of unsaved changes
index.php/fa/6324/0/
Reacting on IForm.PROP_SAVE_NEEDED in handleScoutPropertyChange(..)

This is working because it as 0 effect on Windows (I tested Windows 7).


For the message box, I am still looking for solution to:
- handle the title...
- handle Windows/Mac



I am also looking for a solution for the Application Menu (containing About, Preferences, and Quit Menu items). A StackOverflow question points the Snippet354. Work in progress...

Hi Jérémie

Thanks for your input! The patch for the modify state looks well. I'll schedule it for the 3.8 release.

Concerning the messagebox: As long as the title problem stays unsolved I think it's better not to change that behavior.

Cheers
Claudio
