I looked into Apple Events and they look very complicated and not very
coder-freindly. Are there Cocoa wrappers for creating an Apple Event?
I did some quick searches on Google but didn't find anything.
Apple Events are several levels higher than anything the Dock is
involved
with. Many common applications don't respond to Apple Events at all.
To put it bluntly, the Dock is deep magic. I don't think ANYBODY has
managed to figure out how it does a lot of the things it does. Remember
that its responsibilities extend beyond just displaying application
icons - it also takes care of:
* Minimizing windows and hiding applications
* Force Quit and certain other Apple-menu functions
* Dashboard
* Exposé
Unless you think you can reimplement all these features from scratch,
as well
as figuring out how the Dock communicates with the window server,
don't try
to replace the Dock! It won't work. _______________________________________________
