The preferences menu on Mac OS X is traditionally located under the application menu. In this quick tutorial we will learn how can we add fast this kind of option under the Mac application menu using REALbasic. Watch it, learn it, enjoy it!
To have your preferences menu appear under the application menu, all you have to do is make sure to create a super “PrefsMenuItem” of that menu, and REALbasic will take care of the rest. Go to Project Tab and click on MenuBar1. Now for example in Edit Menu Add Menu Item and name it Preferences. To display this submenu under the application menu go to it Super Property and enter there PrefsMenuItem.
REALbasic City is a part of TUTSPOLIS where you can find tutorials about creating cross-platform software for Mac, Windows and Linux using REALbasic 2009. Learn a object-oriented dialect of the BASIC programming language and create your own games and software such as browsers, periodic tables, catalogs for your
personal book library, e-mail clients, weather clients, instant messengers, unarchivers etc.
Interesting would also be, how to store those preferences.
