It's very easy to freeze up your entire system while developing an application that uses event taps to intercept global hardware events. If you're intercepting events then passing them along only if a test is satisfied, I recommend creating a passive event tap until you're sure you've got everything else working right. Then turn the tap into an active event tap and hope for the best. Try to leave some kinds of events untapped during development, so you can still, for example, press Command-Q to quit your app -- which should automatically uninstall the tap and bring your machine back to life. Playing with my free Event Taps Testbench might help you figure out what the issue is. Let me know privately if it does help -- or better yet if it doesn't help and you can tell me why not. I would like to make it as useful as possible to developers working with event taps. <http://prefabsoftware.com/eventtapstestbench>. -- 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.
