So far, these are the ways I know:
-Cocoa apps' context menu for text always has Cut, Copy, Paste, Spelling, Font, Speech, Writing Direction, Look Up in Dictionary, etc. e.g.: In the Finder, being a Carbon app, the Search box does not have a context menu. (Well, it does, but it's for the Search box toolbar item, not the for the text). Furthermore, when you rename a file/folder, there is no context menu. -Cocoa apps' toolbar buttons are click-through; Carbon apps' toolbar buttons are not. Click-through means being able to click on a button of a window you are not currently focused in. e.g.: You're in a Safari window, and you see another Safari window in the back. Since Safari is Cocoa, its toolbar buttons are click-through, so you can click the toolbar buttons of the background window even though you're not focused on that window. (a little aside: Here's an article on click-through.) Anyone know of other ways to tell the difference? Last edited by remain; 05-22-2007 at 12:59 PM. |
