I'm going to assume then that the subject is "Carbon API with Cocoa" ;)
there is *no* problem in mixing APIs. I do it all the time. In fact,
I prefer to use carbon (and by association, C) when performance is an
issue or when dealing with processes or files. Yeah, I might make an
obj-c wrapper around them, but it's still carbon in the background.
The only real problem when mixing Carbon and Cocoa is the event loop
stuff. As of 10.1.x and earlier, they are hardly compatible. If you
register for Carbon events in a Cocoa driven app, none of the Carbon
Events will be triggered and vice-versa. There are some exceptions to
this, but it is generally the case.
You *can* use carbon windows without problem in a Cocoa application.
The reverse doesn't seem to be true *yet*.

Hi,
Just wondering if there is any problems with using any of the
carbon API's from a Cocoa application. Just wanting to do this to
get a bit of information which I am finding really difficult to get
using cocoa.
