Big Sur - Declare Help

[Martin_T]

Try my first steps on macOS Big Sur 11.0.1.

Wanna set NSWindow.toolbarStyle to unified as it was introduced in https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10104. How does the declare needs to look like?

Declare Sub toolbarStyle Lib "AppKit" Selector "toolbarStyle:" (handle As Ptr, value As Integer)
toolbarStyle(Me.Handle, 3)

My declare does nothing.

I’m also interested in the new NSWindow.subtitle. How to set it?

---

EDIT: Looks like it this is the right way, but don’t see any difference using Window with Toolbar.

Var NSWindowStyleMaskUnifiedTitleAndToolbar As UInteger = Bitwise.ShiftLeft(1,12)

Declare Sub setStyleMask Lib "AppKit" Selector "setStyleMask:" (windowRef As Integer, value As Integer)
Declare Function styleMask Lib "AppKit" Selector "styleMask" (windowRef As Integer) As Integer
setStyleMask(Me.Handle, styleMask(Self.Handle) + NSWindowStyleMaskUnifiedTitleAndToolbar)

@Martin_T

Declare Sub toolbarStyle Lib "AppKit" Selector "toolbarStyle:" (handle As Ptr, value As Integer)
toolbarStyle(Me.Handle, 3)

Selector needs to be “setToolbarStyle:”

To be able to use some of the new Big Sur GUI features you need to wrap your application with App Wrapper 4 as it can alter the executable in a way that enables their functionality.

This has been part of the reason why I had to slow down with my Big Sur articles as I needed to get AW4 to a state where people could use it.

Once I’m finished with the betas, I’ll be able to resume my Big Sur articles again.
