It isn't clear to me what you mean. When some people ask questions like this, what they really mean is that they want to be able to control the other application's windows, menus, etc. There are several ways to do that, including the Accessibility API and Quartz Event Taps. Other people really mean that they want to share the data used by the other application. If you wrote the other program, you can do that in a variety of ways, including shared preferences and distributed notifications. Even if you didn't write the other program, you may be able to do something with its documents or, if it supports AppleScript, with its terminology dictionary. Even if it doesn't support AppleScript, you can probably control it and thus get at its data using GUI Scripting. Other people mean literally accessing the RAM currently in use by the other application, and I have no idea how you would go about approaching that task. -- 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.
