I've been reading through a lot of documentation on Apple's web site,
but I haven't been able to get a grip on the overall event pathway
from a user's key strokes or mouse input to the application's event
handler. I am trying to write a fuzz testing system for OS X [1] and
need to find a way to insert user interface events into an arbitrary
application. My understanding is that it isn't possible for one
application to post a Carbon event to another application, so I was
looking at using mach_inject to insert a thread into my target and
post events to the queue from the inserted thread. I am concerned
that this would only work with Carbon applications. I've been trying
to dig a bit deeper, and found a reference to a mach event port, but
have thus far been unable to figure out any more about that.
Is there documentation available anywhere about how the system
processes events and sends them to a user application? Am I asking
this on the right mailing list? If not, where should I direct my
questions?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
