Hi,
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.
-Greg
