Hi, I’m new to AppleScriptObjC… I’ve got a menu bar item in the “Window” menu of my application. I’m not sure how to display a dialog when that menu bar item is clicked.

Model: MacBook Pro
AppleScript: 2.1.2
Browser: Google Chrome 5.0.342.9
Operating System: Mac OS X (10.6)

You just need to connect it to a method in your applescript just like you would for a button. So, you could create a method like:

on doSomething_(sender)
		display dialog "I clicked on my menu item."
	end doSomething_

Save your applescript, then go to IB and control drag from your menu item to the app delegate for your program and choose doSomething from the popup that appears.
