Excerpt of article text...

You use REALbasic because it is the easiest Rapid Application Development tool for the Macintosh. However, it is limited when it comes to OS X (Carbon) events, features, and controls. That is where the Carbon Events Plug-In comes in. It takes over where REALbasic leaves you stranded.

The Carbon Events Plug-In adds several key features for Carbon builds such as: Scroll Wheel support, Quit events, Sheets support, useable screen space, Proxy Icons, and a lot more! Let's take a look.

The Quit event is essential for OS X builds. It enables you to use the Quit menu item that is found under the Application menu. REALbasic quits when this menu is selected, but you can't add any code to the event. (i.e. Say you have a word processor and the user quits. You would usually want to make sure that any open files have been saved and give the user the option of saving or not. With REALbasic 4.0.2 and lower, this was not an option. The application would quit without warning when selected from the Application menu.)
