Re: NSScriptCommand with record parameter

After a few hours googling on the internet on the topic of NSDictionary and AppleScript record, I have come to the conclusion that I also need to define a record-type in my sdef:

<record-type name="scriptmenurecord" code="scMe">

<property name="name" code="scNa" type="text" description="the name of the frontmost application">

<cocoa key="frontmostname"/>

</property>

<property name="menu" code="scMi" type="integer" description="The menu item number of the selected menu, starting from 0">

<cocoa key="menunumber"/>

</property>

</record-type>

and then use this instead of record in the command "selected scriptmenu"

But the result is exactly the same. And the curious thing is that I am unable to see the above record-type when I open my apps Dictionary in Script Editor.

I want to know which application is frontmost when I select a script in the script menu, so I put this into the sdef file of my application:

<command name="selected scriptmenu" code="TaCldosc" description="A Script menu item have been selected">

<cocoa class="SelectedScriptMenu"/>

<direct-parameter>

<type type="record" list="no"/>

</direct-parameter>

</command>

The script that I put in the script menu looks like this:

property frontmostApplication : "none"

tell application "System Events"

set frontmostApplication to item 1 of (get name of processes whose frontmost is true)

end tell

tell application "Tansa"

activate

selected scriptmenu {name:frontmostApplication, menu:5}

end tell

The result is printed out with a NSLog:

2007-11-23 07:33:32.822 Tansa[8848:10b] SelectedScriptMenu dict: {

    1886282093 = Mail;

    1668116085 = 5;

}

I thought the key should be the same as what I put in the script, "name" and "menu", but they came out as integers. Why?

How can I get the dict to be that?
