Have you looked at XML-RPC? I believe OS X includes some XML-RPC to AppleEvent bridging, and it should be possible to find appropriate cross-platform component sources. I'm shooting in the dark here, as I have not tried this myself, but it's always worth checking out open standards-based solutions.

Another Euro 0.02 :)

Hi Sachin,

I for one wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole.

AppleEvents are sent using the AppleEvent Manager, which sends them through
the EventManager, which uses the PPCToolbox to communicate with remote
machines. All of this is AFAIK Apple proprietary. If you can get hold of
documentation for all that than it would be feasible. Major advantage would
be that every Mac supports this out of the box and access can be controlled
from the client.

I'd rather 'invent' my own proprietary protocol based on TCP/IP and have
client software on the Mac do the 'translation' to local AppleEvents.

Just my 2", anybody welcome to educate me and tell were I am wrong.

Cheers,
Horst

Hi,

I am developing a cross platform product and the need is to be able to login
to a remote(mac machine) from windows machine and be able to launch/execute
an application remotely. While surfing on the net, I come across lot of
articles talking about appleevents but not talking much about it. so my
questions are...

1. can I use appleevents to achieve my goals. If so please explain how.
2. can I send appleevents from the windows machine to mac machines? If yes ,
then how can I formulate appleevents into network packets?

any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Regards,
Sachin
