I am creating an OSX app with swift version 2.2. I need to execute a method when the user clicking the close button on top left corner of my app, I am new in Cocoa programming anyone now which is the event executing when clicking close button (see the image).

Close button

My purpose is when i keep my app on dock it is not open after clicking close button(the black dot under app is showing after clicking close button), but in a case right click and force quit on it then clicking app on dock it will re open fine. I think by giving the below given code inside close button event will solve my problem.

NSApplication.sharedApplication().terminate(self)

The close button isn't the close button of the app, it is the close button of the window. – Willeke
in my app only have one window that's why i ask for that. – Ben Rockey

func applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed(sender: NSApplication) -> Bool {
    NSApplication.sharedApplication().terminate(self)
    return true
}

Inside appdeligate work for me.

For Swift 4.2

func applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed(_ sender: NSApplication) -> Bool {
    NSApplication.shared.terminate(self)
    return true
}

Update for Swift 4.1:

func applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed(_ sender: NSApplication) -> Bool {
    NSApplication.shared.terminate(self)
    return true
}
