I've posted PreFab Event Taps Testbench 1.1 at
<http://prefabsoftware.com/eventtapstestbench>. This is a free utility for
software developers. Use it to explore what your applications can do with
Quartz event taps. In addition, you should find it to be a useful tool to
test drivers for hardware input devices such as trackballs and tablets, to
test virtual software input devices including assistive applications for
persons with disabilities, and to test remote control software.
The most important new feature is that the PFEventTaps framework is now
installed separately as a shared framework in /Library/Frameworks, where it
can be used by any developer (under license, free only if distributed with
free software). The framework wraps Apple's Quartz event taps C API,
including many transparent workarounds for Apple bugs. It's an Objective-C
2.0 universal binary supporting 32-bit and 64-bit architectures and
retain/release and garbage collection memory management. It enables a Cocoa
application to respond to both local and remote user input events from a
keyboard, mouse, scroll wheel or tablet using Cocoa delegate methods Will
Post Event, Should Post Event, May Post Modified Event For Event, and Did
Post Event, regardless of the application at which the events were targeted.
It also helps you build remote control applications, assistive applications
for persons with disabilities, and other tools that modify user input events
on the fly before they are posted to their target.
