Manager: Apple Event Manager


Carbon fully supports the Apple Event Manager. Standard Apple events previously defined by Apple--for example, the required suite of Apple events--are supported in Mac OS X and play the same roles as they do in Mac OS 8 and 9.

Note, however, that the dataHandle field of the AEDesc structure is now opaque. Use AEGetDescData, AEGetDescDataSize, and AEReplaceDescData to access the data in the AEDesc.dataHandle field instead of dereferencing the handle directly.
