Have you considered creating a "go-between" object that would implement the APIs your code expects. And, would also implement the required Cocoa delegate APIs? Your app code then sets info/state on your object which in turn can be passed along when the Cocoa delegate methods get called. Note that this may be an extreme simplification. I have no idea on the order of operations of both APIs and thus don't know if they will work well together using this approach. Maintaining state in your go-between object may also get tricky. ___________________________________________________________ Ricky A.
