Opening About (App Name) with a button (Mac os x)

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a button inside of my mac app and when you click on it, it will open the About (App Name) window?

Hope it makes sense! :)

Solution

  • Connect the NSButton to File's Owner and select orderFrontStandardAboutPanel: like this:

    enter image description here

    EDIT

    Alternatively connect the NSButton directly to the following IBAction:

    - (IBAction)theButton:(id)sender {

    [NSApp orderFrontStandardAboutPanel:self];

 }
