Touchbar Workaround

Not only Purebasic has a problem with the touchbar.
As long as this is not solved, I have found a workaround.
The setting for this application remembers the OS. So if the announcement with Touchbar to run, must also be allowed again.

Update v 1.03

Code: Select all

Procedure IsTouchbar()
  Protected standardUserDefaults, r1
  standardUserDefaults = CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults")
  r1 = CocoaMessage(0, standardUserDefaults, "integerForKey:$", @"NSFunctionBarAPIEnabled")
  ProcedureReturn r1
EndProcedure

Procedure DisableTouchbar()
  Protected standardUserDefaults
  If IsTouchbar()
    standardUserDefaults = CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults")
    CocoaMessage(0, standardUserDefaults, "setBool:", #NO, "forKey:$", @"NSFunctionBarAPIEnabled")
    RunProgram(ProgramFilename(), ProgramParameter(), GetCurrentDirectory())
    End
  EndIf

Procedure EnableTouchbar()

  If IsTouchbar() = 0
    standardUserDefaults = CocoaMessage(0, 0, "NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults")
    CocoaMessage(0, standardUserDefaults, "setBool:", #YES, "forKey:$", @"NSFunctionBarAPIEnabled")
    RunProgram(ProgramFilename(), ProgramParameter(), GetCurrentDirectory())
    End

A relauch is needed to have this setting applied ?

According to this post: http://indiestack.com/2016/12/touch-bar ... rotection/ it should work if put as soon as possible. Also seems to confirm it's an Apple issue. I will try to release a new lib for you to test, thank you to have took the time to look into it !
