Hi,
After a few days smooth sailing and playing with MacRuby, I just hit
a wall:
How do I invoke something like this in MacRuby:
[[NSAppleEventManager sharedAppleEventManager] setEventHandler:self
andSelector:@selector(getUrl:withReplyEvent:)
forEventClass:kInternetEventClass andEventID:kAEGetURL];
I can't figure out where to find kInternetEventClass and kAEGetURL
constants. Are they available from MacRuby?
In MacRuby, in order to access C constants you must upcase the first
letter (because constants in Ruby always start with an upcase
character). So kInternetEventClass becomes KInternetEventClass.
Now, in your special case, these constants are defined in Carbon and
are not available from MacRuby, because Carbon is not covered yet by
the BridgeSupport mechanism. I would therefore recommend to define
these constants in Ruby.
The constants in the header file are:
enum {
kInternetEventClass = 'GURL',
kAEGetURL = 'GURL',
kAEFetchURL = 'FURL',
keyAEAttaching = 'Atch'
};
Both kInternetEventClass and kAEGetURL have the same value, a four
character code (a weird esoteric type). You can build the same thing
in Ruby using String#unpack:
KInternetEventClass = KAEGetURL = 'GURL'.unpack('N').first
# ...
NSAppleEventManager.sharedAppleEventManager.setEventHandler self,
andSelector: :"getUrl:withReplyEvent:", forEventClass:
KInternetEventClass, andEventID: KAEGetURL
HTH,
Laurent
