Subject: Applesript and Cocoa

G'day All,

I've been trying to get a simple Applescript enables app going for a
while now, and I'm having trouble. I can't even get it to respond to
something like

tell application "MyApp" to get its version

Is there some magic option I have to set to tell the system that my
application is scriptable?

Thanks

Daniel


Daniel,

The short answer might be:

To gain access to Cocoa's scripting support, you should do the following:
 Include AppKit.framework and Foundation.framework in your application project (standard procedure for Cocoa applications).
 Add the following key to the Info.plist file for your application:NSAppleScriptEnabled = YES

That's from "Guidelines for Creating Scriptable Applications", one of the sections in the "Scriptable Applications" topic in the Cocoa documentation. Available in Cocoa help in Project Builder or at the website
