Re: Exit screen saver programmatically?

[Gabriel Zachmann]

Post a mouse down event and the sceensaver engine will remove it for you.

That is a good idea -- except I have no idea how to do that.
Could you give me a hint how to achieve that? (class / method names?)
(Sorry, for asking shuch a dumbquestion.)

BTW: just a mouse move event would suffice, is that possible, too? (that way, I wouldn't have to worry about coordinates)

It's possible; you'd have to discriminate based on the bundle identifier returned by the main NSBundle.

what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

So, right now, I tried this:

        if ( ! [self isPreview] )
            [NSApp terminate: self];

but this has the disadvantage in the following scenario:

2. User clicks 'Test', my screen saver runs in full screen mode
3. User clicks any key (other than the few above mentioned ones)
Problem is: after that the System Preferences app is gone, too!




- (void) keyDown: (NSEvent *) theEvent
{
    if ( [theEvent modifierFlags] & NSNumericPadKeyMask )
    {
        [self interpretKeyEvents: [NSArray arrayWithObject:theEvent] ];
    }
    else
    {
        // exit gracefully
        if ( ! [self isPreview] )
            [NSApp terminate: self];
    }
}

- (IBAction) moveLeft: (id) sender
{
    ...
}

I want to catch a few key events in my screen saver (like cursor keys, space, return), but if the user clicks any other key, I want the screen saver to exit, just like other screen savers that don't catch any keyboard events. 1. User opens System Preferences / Screen Saver, and activates my screensaver Currently, the complete key handling code in my screen saver looks like this:
