macOS Catalina 2023r3.1
I have two small apps with small About … windows. In fact, I cloned the window for the second app from that of the first - just changed its title and the splash image.
What’s odd is how I am allowed to invoke them. The apps’ menu items are set up identically, the menu items are both on the Helpmenu and with a Super of DesktopApplicationMenuItem and appear nicely in the application menu at run time.
But the Menu Handler methods have to contain different code. The earlier one has this:
AboutMyApp.Show ()
Return True
But if I put the equivalent code in the Menu handler for the other app, I get:
Error: static reference to instance method: call this on an instance of class DesktopWindow
and instead I require this code:
Var w As new AboutMyApp
w.Show ()
Return True
But both are implicit instances and BBEdit, which I used to cxompare the two .xojo_window files, tells me they are identical apart from window name and title. So what have I overlooked?
