The FolderItem class also gives you the methods to do a lot of file operations without effort. Xojo gives you the class FolderItem fully loaded with a useful bunch of properties that allow you to examine the attributes of any file for example, the creation or modification of dates, the file path (in several formats), if the file is an alias, etc. Hope you enjoy this tutorial and if you appreciate the work I'm doing please leave a comment.Sooner or later your app will need to work with files, maybe to save the data generated with the app itself, to open the files created with other apps or because is the main purpose of the utility you are working on.

In our example, we will display the Title and Description, but if we won't we can also add subtitle and sound that will play when the message will display. Now when we will run our Xojo application the Notifications Center will display our message. MsgBox('Error code: ' + Str(kubadownload.ErrorCode)) '''Notification Description''' + 'with title' + '''Notification title'''') Kubadownload.Execute('osascript -e' + ''display notification ' + #If TargetMacOS Then //check if OSX system

To execute 'Kuba' we need to execute in Xojo '''Kuba'''. 'Kuba' we need to add additional brackets to make it work in Xojo. If we got a part of a command line that uses eg. Select Window1 and navigate to menu Insert -> Event Handler -> Open. Let's display a welcome notification to the user when he will run our Xojo app. Osascript executes AppleScript, but it will work with any Open Scripting Architecture (OSA) language. Using Shell we can access osascript, a command line tool that is available in OSX.

Xojo offers Shell class that executes Unix or DOS shell commands under Windows, OSX, or Linux. In the last tutoral, I showed you how can we use Apple Script Editor app to create a script that can be used later on in our Xojo app. display notification v : Display a notification.ĭisplay notification : the body text of the notification Below you can find the scripting dictionary listing for the command. Today we will use the display notification command that can be run anywhere within a script to trigger system notifications. It can be used to run an intelligent mechanism to control software and to access and modify data and documents. AppleScript is a scripting language built into the Mac OS since System 7.
