You can also make your app "trusted" using the AX API, in Leopard, so that the Universal Access preference need not be set at all. But it requires authentication so you have to jump through a lot of hoops to implement it. You can also set the Universal Access preference using AppleScript, in Tiger and Leopard, without jumping through any hoops at all (because System Preferences takes care of the authentication dialog for you). Thus, you could use NSAppleScript or OSAKit to run a script that will set the Universal Access setting, if you find that it is not already set. -- 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.
