Thanks to Jonathan & Terry,

Apple guidelines changed again and I didn't even notice - thanks for pointing that out.

Terry, you are also correct with the note icon on OS 9 for '32' - my mistake :-(

RB 5.5.2, Mac OS X 10.3.5
Cheers

The following shows what is happening:

x = MsgBox ("Text",16)    //Stop icon on OS 9, App icon on OS X

Correct.

x = MsgBox ("Text",32)    //Question icon on OS 9, App icon on OS X

OS 9 shows the Note Icon for me.

x = MsgBox ("Text",48) //Caution Triangle icon on OS 9, Caution Triangle icon on OS X

Correct.

x = MsgBox ("Text",64)    //Note icon on OS 9, App icon on OS X

Correct.

Perhaps this release note might explain:

5.5.2fc1 [Fix] [All]

MessageDialog, MsgBox: the QuestionIcon option now works on Windows/Linux. NOTE: Apple doesn't support this concept, and they no longer support the badged stop icon in 10.3 either. (Feedback ID:geuzivyo)

You can still get the Stop and Note icons if you draw it yourself in a custom window. This is provided for backwards compatibility with older software. They do appear as the old OS 9 size though. (32 x 32).

Check out 'StopIcon' in the Mailing list beta archives. Will Cosgrove has a way to get larger icons.

HTH,

Terry Ford
