Run code at start

Scripting Forums AppleScriptObjC and Xcode

Hey guys, how do you, say, display a dialog at application start in app delegate?

#2

You mean like

display dialog "Hello world!"

or is there something more to this request I’m missing?

#3

Yeah like that. But in my app delegate, it doesn’t run at start, the ony way to run things is by on variable_(SENDER). Nothing runs outside of that.

#4

put the code in the applicationWillFinishLaunching handler, in the AppleScriptObjC template that’s the first handler which gets called

#5

Then it’s not the NSApplication’s delegate object :D. It’s not possible that an app delegate doesn’t work only that an delegate object is not properly assigned as the application’s delegate.

Display dialogs require event sending and receiving so I would suggest to use applicationDidFinishLaunching. Stefan’s suggestion is called first, true, but it may be called to early.

#6

It does not, event handling starts after awakeFromNib() which is always called before applicationDidFinishLaunching()

Thahnks dude, it worked… (By the way I had tested it in Will Finish… Didn’t work)
