Hey all,
first i have to say i'm a newbie in RubyCocoa, i did some examples in
Obj-C-Cocoa just a bit more than the famous "helloWorld!"...
however i'm able to translate from Obj-C to Ruby.
now my question.
i've started an app which make use of Apple Event Maneger get URL.
am i on the correct mailing list for that kind of trick ?
for the time being my app is able to get frontmost if the correct
protocol ("bmkm:" standing for BookMarks Manger) is entered in the
URL field of both Safari and Firefox.
the app is able also to find the paramter passed with the URL (as for
example Sogudi does with man:plutil)
then, i'm able to find back "bmkm:command_passed_to_the_app" within
handleGetURLEvent:withReplyEvent:
now, i need to build the replyEvent which will send to the browser an
url in the form of : "file://blahblah" or "http://blahblah";
i've a first of reading Apple Event Manger and related documentation,
however i'm not sure at all this it is a first class understanding.
let me tell what i understood :
because, in my case the replyEvent will address to the same app that
the one which send the incoming event message, i don't have very much
to do in order to build a replyEvent.
in short i've only to change the string
"bmkm:command_passed_to_the_app" (input) to "http://blahblah"; (ourput).
in order to get "bmkm:command_passed_to_the_app" i do, whithin
"handleGetURLEvent:withReplyEvent:" :
keyDirectObject = "----"
url = event.paramDescriptorForKeyword(keyDirectObject).stringValue
and i get it.
(i've suppressed the ruby dialect of that)
now, i want to build a replyEvent which is, basically, the "same" as
the incoming one except i have to setParamDescriptorForKeyword, i
would say, something like :
replyEvent=event.setParamDescriptor:forKeyword: (again may be i'm
totally wrong)
that's where my prob comes.
setParamDescriptor:forKeyword: has to args, the first being an
NSAppleEventDescriptor the second an
AEKeyword .
if the above is true, i found no way to assign a string value for
this keyWord while, when reading, i had the method #stringValue to
get it.
that's my question : how to assign a particular string for this
paramDescriptor and this keyWord ???
best,
Yvon
