I need the ability to call an AppleScript from a Cocoa Application. I have done this in the past using NSAppleScript and it works great. This time I need to call the "on run" and pass in parameters. That I have not done. I looked at the following Tech note Technical Note TN2084: Using AppleScript Scripts in Cocoa Applications<http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2006/tn2084.html#TNTAG5> and it talks about running a subroutine in apple script and passing in parameters. The example I have been able to get working, but if I try and call the run method it does not work. I suspect it is the event parameter that is incorrect.
Here is code. It is basically the same code that was in the tech note but it is calling "run" as appose to "sow_message". Run is a reserved word and clearly acts differently. NSAppleEventDescriptor* handler = [NSAppleEventDescriptor descriptorWithString: [@"run" lowercaseString]]; //here is where I'm trying to setup the subroutine to call NSAppleEventDescriptor* event = [NSAppleEventDescriptor appleEventWithEventClass:kASAppleScriptSuite eventID:kASSubroutineEvent //I suspect that this eventID is not correct. targetDescriptor:target returnID:kAutoGenerateReturnID transactionID:kAnyTransactionID]; [event setParamDescriptor:handler forKeyword:keyASSubroutineName]; //I suspect that this is not needed or is incorrect [event setParamDescriptor:parameters forKeyword:keyDirectObject]; Does someone know how I should be setting up these events. thanks for the help -dave _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
