I'm working on a utility (written in C++/Carbon) that generates scripts for
a non-scriptable application. The scripts make heavy use of the GUI
capabilities (particularly "keystroke") of the System Events scripting
plug-in. After much struggle (this is my first ever Mac program) it's
starting to work (sort of), but has some flaws, including the fact that
users have to execute the scripts after they're generated, and the lack of
sub-second delays makes the scripts run pretty slow (since I have to put a
delay after most operations).
I'm curious if there's some way to use the Apple Event Manager (or a similar
facility) to directly communicate with the System Events plug-in from my
Carbon app, by-passing Apple Script altogether. Anyone out there tried
something like this? Think it can be made to work? Is there a different
list I should ask this question on?
Thanks,
Ken Woodruff
