- Thread-topic: fetching the window pointer of other applications (processes)
Hi All,
I am in a situation where I have to access the window pointer of a
different application (which is running in a totally different process)
and play with it. I have written browser plug-in for safari, which gets
loaded inside safari process. Inside this browser plug-in I want to
access the top level window pointer (window ref) of the other stand
alone application which is running in a different process.
If I transfer the window pointer of the stand alone application to
browser plug-in by some means (through apple events or some other way).
Will I be able to use that window pointer from browser plug-in (which is
part of the browser process)?
Does Mac let the application to fetch the window pointers of other
applications like the Windows operating system allows?
Is there is security issues enforced by the process, so that any process
cannot access the other process data structures?
I tried this without any luck, has anybody come across this kind of
situation. Could you please share your experience?
Thanks
