ADC: Processing Events Manually
| Code: | OSStatus ReceiveNextEvent(
UInt32 inNumTypes,
const EventTypeSpec *inList,
EventTimeout inTimeout,
Boolean inPullEvent,
EventRef *outEvent
); |
"ReceiveNextEvent runs the low-level event loop, placing events as they
occur into the event queue. The function returns when an event you specified
occurs, or when the specified timeout is exceeded."
ADC: Modal Event States
"If you need to create application-modal dialogs, you can use several
Carbon Event Manager functions to enter and exit the modal state." |

• kEventMouseDown, kEventMouseUp, kEventMouseMoved, and kEventMouseDragged (kEventClassMouse)
• kEventRawKeyDown, kEventRawKeyUp, and kEventRawKeyRepeat (kEventClassKeyboard)
• kEventWindowUpdate, kEventWindowActivate, kEventWindowDeactivate, and kEventWindowCursorChange (kEventClassWindow)
• kEventAppActivated and kEventAppDeactivate (kEventClassApplication)
• kEventAppleEvent (kEventClassAppleEvents)

ADC: WaitNextEvent - Event Manager Reference (Not Recommended)
"The WaitNextEvent function calls the Operating System Event Manager
function SystemEvent to determine whether the event should be handled by
the application or the Operating System.
If no events are pending for your application, WaitNextEvent waits for a
specified amount of time for an event." |

How to GetNextEvent in XCode
"So I need to write code that will grab the event stream watch for a barcode
then bring FileMaker to the front and type the Cmd-1. What I read about
Carbon and Cocoa is that only events that occur in an apps own windows are
sent to the app." |

How to add option-or-control keyboard equivalents?
"The reason why even though SetMenuItemModifiers correctly added
control-or-option-type keyboard equivalents to my menu but they didn't
appear to work is that elsewhere in my code I was using MenuKey()
instead of MenuEvent(). MenuKey is oblivious to the state of the
control, option and shift keys. I switched my code to use MenuEvent(),
and now it works like a charm." |

adc - Quartz Event Services Reference
"This document describes the C API for event taps, which are filters used to
observe and alter the stream of low-level user input events in Mac OS X.
Event taps make it possible to monitor and filter input events from several
points within the system, prior to their delivery to a foreground application.
Event taps complement and extend the capabilities of the Carbon event
monitor mechanism, which allows an application to observe input events
delivered to other processes (see the function GetEventMonitorTarget)." |
