[SOLVED] Mac GUI window not clickable

[lazyboy007]

Hello,

I have a problem on lazarus for mac, and it is quite urgent as i need it for school. I have made Units that run fine on the school windows, yet when I convert them on Lazarus, the GUI window is unclickable. No matter what I do, I can't press on any button or Edit or anything else.

If anyone knows how to fix this problem, I would be glad to know how 

Thanks in advance

Without example project nobody can help you.

Well it just doesn't work for any project, even if I just use a blank unit and no content at all, the unit appears and it's not clickable :/

So how is that sample project coming along that demonstrates the problem? Given your description it shouldn't be hard to provide. You can attach it as a zip file to a post.

Please also always post your Lazarus version, OS version.

IIRC Configure creating a bundle in project options, and start the bundle, not the generated binary.

Exactly. You should double-click the bundle (that is the file with the standard application icon showing a pencil, a paintbrush and a ruler that shape an "A"), not the binary itself (the file with the shell-like icon showing the test "exec"). In Mac OS X applications are bundles, i.e. special folders that contain both binaries and resources.

The behaviour that you describe is typical for binaries that are started directly (rather than being started by the bundle).

The problem occurs when I use the run command in lazarus, so i don't actually click a file. Where do I find the options I have to change in Lazarus?
