Re: discovering if a process is busy



it sounds like a poorly written app. What app is it?
well you're right there. it's a bit of a mess.
Pro Tools.

Perhaps I've mis-diagnosed the problem it. it certainly seems like one or two key events get missed while the app is busy reading stuff into memory.
I am using CGPostKeyboardEvent.
is there a better way of achieving this with a different API?

I'm sending keyboard events to an app which sometimes ignores a key or two if it is slow to process a previous keystroke or is busy with some other task.

That seems wrong. Are you sure this is what's going on?

Mac apps normally remove key events from a queue. So if an app is busy, the events stay in the queue until the app can get them. If this app is missing events because it's busy, it means that it is purposely throwing some events away, or that it's not using events at all but merely polling the keyboard state. Either way, it sounds like a poorly written app. What app is it?
