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.

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
