Hi,

I'm trying to develop for Mac OS X a small application (handle a USB device from user space), but I'm having problems with "getting into it". I've already read a lot on how this is handled in Mac OS X using the documentation in "/Developer/ADC Reference Library", examined some example code and now I'm doing a small program to test everything. From time to time I'd like to inspect the definition of a structure doing so by "Apple-double clicking" on the word (e.g. IOUSBDeviceInterface182). This works nicely and takes me right to the definition. But as it's full of "cryptic comments" which come from a "documentation system", it's a pain to read. So as this is in "documenting tool"-format I expect, when doing a "option-double click" on the same word, the "Developer Documentation" comes up displaying the same thing but much nicer... But: no, the opening window displays "USB.h" which has no reference or anything related to my search term.

Am I missing some part of the documentation or how do I get this "option-double clicking" working? Or do I expect too much from this "documentation tool"?

PS: If I "option double-click" on "IOObjectGetClass" and then on "IOServiceGetMatchingServices" the help system displays the correct page for "IOServiceGetMatchingServices". Then, if I option double- click again on "IOServiceGetMatchingServices" it doesn't find the page it... So you can't really be sure if there is a documentation or not. Retry later and perhaps it displays the page. Weird! _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
