I've posted PreFab Event Taps Testbench 1.1 at <http://prefabsoftware.com/eventtapstestbench>. This is a free utility for software developers. Use it to explore what your applications can do with Quartz event taps. In addition, you should find it to be a useful tool to test drivers for hardware input devices such as trackballs and tablets, to test virtual software input devices including assistive applications for persons with disabilities, and to test remote control software.
The most important new feature is that the PFEventTaps framework is now installed separately as a shared framework in /Library/Frameworks, where it can be used by any developer (under license, free only if distributed with free software). The framework wraps Apple's Quartz event taps C API, including many transparent workarounds for Apple bugs. It's an Objective-C 2.0 universal binary supporting 32-bit and 64-bit architectures and retain/release and garbage collection memory management. It enables a Cocoa application to respond to both local and remote user input events from a keyboard, mouse, scroll wheel or tablet using Cocoa delegate methods Will Post Event, Should Post Event, May Post Modified Event For Event, and Did Post Event, regardless of the application at which the events were targeted. It also helps you build remote control applications, assistive applications for persons with disabilities, and other tools that modify user input events on the fly before they are posted to their target. -- Bill Cheeseman - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quechee Software, Quechee, Vermont, USA www.quecheesoftware.com PreFab Software - www.prefabsoftware.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
