Routines for Responding to Apple Events

Creating and Managing the Coercion Handler Dispatch Tables

The Apple Event Manager provides three functions that allow you to create and manage the coercion handler dispatch tables. The AEInstallCoercionHandler function installs a coercion handler routine in either the application or system coercion dispatch table. The AEGetCoercionHandler function returns the handler for a specified descriptor type coercion. The AERemoveCoercionHandler function removes a coercion handler from either the application or system coercion table.
