Oh boy, if they had, they’d have had a bunch of 3rd party app developers descending on them with pitchforks and torches. There are a lot of apps that use AppleEvents to drive iTunes. And Apple takes backward compatibility pretty seriously. > What I was hoping for was a link to an article I missed on a wonderful new > native Cocoa API. That doesn’t really make sense. A native Cocoa API would still have to be a wrapper around to some other IPC mechanism, in order to talk to an external process. And that IPC mechanism is AppleEvents. (Yes, it’s conceivable that an app could expose a Distributed Objects interface, but DO is way, way too fragile to expose to outside developers that way.) —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
