SBApplication : how to send raw data

I woudl like to send raw data (a void*) using SBApplication sendEvent

Unfortunaltly I've found no documentation about this.

Do you have any idea to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for yoru help,

Regards,

Solution

  • sendEvent:id:parameters: is actually a message that all SBObjects respond to, not just SBApplications. SBObject.h says:

    // Send an Apple event.  The direct parameter is the specifier of the receiver if it
// is non-null.  Other parameters are given using "parameters:" as a list of pairs
// of the parameter four-byte code followed by an Objective-C object; use a parameter
// code of 0 to mark the end of the list.

    So, try boxing the data up into an NSData object, and passing that.
