Hi,

I am developing a desktop application that supports one of the feature through 
Hot Key. I am using Event Tap for this to work. 

But, sometimes (randomly) the callback is not invoked; Hot Key does not work 
and hence the feature seems to be not working. 

Could someone help me out in identifying the problem here.

Following is the code snippet:

   -( void )startEventTapinThread //Called in a separate thread.
   {
        NSAutoreleasePool *pool =[ [ NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
        
        CFRunLoopRef runloop =(CFRunLoopRef)CFRunLoopGetCurrent();
        CGEventMask interestedEvents = 
CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventFlagsChanged)|CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventKeyDown);
        CFMachPortRef eventTap = CGEventTapCreate(kCGSessionEventTap, 
kCGHeadInsertEventTap, 0, interestedEvents, myCGEventCallback, self);     
//self is the object pointer our method
        CFRunLoopSourceRef source = 
CFMachPortCreateRunLoopSource(kCFAllocatorDefault, eventTap, 0);
        CFRunLoopAddSource((CFRunLoopRef)runloop , source, 
kCFRunLoopCommonModes);
        CFRunLoopRun();
        [ pool release];
   }

   CGEventRef myCGEventCallback(CGEventTapProxy proxy, CGEventType type, 
CGEventRef event, void *refcon)
   {
        CGEventType eventType = CGEventGetType(event);
        //execute the code related to feature
   }

Thanks and Regards,
