To handle those events, I think you will need to use some Mac-specific
coding.  Apple has some examples which show how to handle that in a way
that works (and compiles) even on non-Mac systems that don't use the Mac
specific application adapters.  It relies on using the reflection
mechanism to find the Mac-specific code.

Look at the OSXAdapter sample code:

And for some more Mac-related background:
