How to Make a Simple Program With Xcode
Method 1 of 1:
Snow Leopard and Later
-
Beginning with Snow Leopard, Apple has deprecated the use of Applescript Studio, but fear not, in spite of a bit of extra typing, things are actually better without it. Go ahead and grab Xcode 3.2.5 or later. You can get 4.0 in the Mac App Store for free. -
File>New Project -
Click Applescript Application -
Name your project, this example is named "Talking Example" -
Your project should appear -
Double click "Talking_ExampleAppDelegate.applescript" -
There are already some items filled in for you. After the property declaration, insert a new handler:- on clickedme_(sender)
- say "hello"
- end clickedme_
-
Type Cmd+B to build -
Now double-click MainMenu.xib -
Interface builder should open. Close any xib windows it brings up from previous projects you may have worked on. -
A blank window should appear and you can drag a button onto it from the Library. -
Double click the button and make it "Hello" -
CTRL-drag from the Hello button to the blue cube called "Talking Example AppDelegate" and let go. You can now pick the clicked-me event handler to link to the "Hello" button you just made. -
Now click file > save. You many now quit interface builder. -
In Xcode, press build and go at the top. Your application should run smoothly.
