ATSUI is supported under Carbon on Mac OS X, Carbon on Mac OS 9, and native Mac OS 9. The native Mac OS 9 version and Carbon Mac OS 9 versions are frozen (the native one at an earlier level); the OS X version continues to evolve.

I don't know why the demo doesn't do hit testing properly, but ATSUI is supposed to work on 9. I'd strongly recommend using the CarbonLib version.

Speaking of which, run, do not walk, to:

and sign up for the carbon-development mailing list. You will find it a more fruitful place to ask questions about Apple technologies.

Hi list,

I hope ATSUI questions are allowed. ATSUI involves drawing of Unicode text on screen or into off-screen graphics buffers.

I'd like to know if ATSUI can be used for MacOS9. The ATSUI demo for OSX works perfectly, but the ATSUI demo for OS9, can't do horizontal hit testing. :o(

Why not? Is this a bug in the demo, or a bug in ATSUI for OS9? Does ATSUI for Carbon on OS9 work if ATSUI for Classic OS9 doesn't?

If anyone knows ATSUI well, could you please contact me so I can ask a few more questions? Thanks a lot.
