Specifies the main Cocoa application interface.
capi
set-application-interface interface
interface⇩ |
An object of type cocoa-default-application-interface. |
The function set-application-interface
sets interface as the main application interface. This interface is used to supply the application menu and receives various callbacks associated with the application.
set-application-interface
must be called before any CAPI functions that make the screen object (such as convert-to-screen and display).
interface should not be displayed like a normal interface.
An application can only have one application menu and one dock menu. Because the LispWorks IDE already provides these menus, calling set-application-interface
while running the LispWorks IDE will add a submenu to the LispWorks application menu to contain the application-menu and menu-bar-items of your application, and you can test them there. Likewise, a submenu will be added to the LispWorks Dock icon menu. Other aspects of the application interface can only be tested when running it standalone.
set-application-interface
is only applicable when running under Cocoa.
