Routines for Creating and Sending Apple Events

Adding Items to Descriptor Lists

The Apple Event Manager provides three routines that allow you to add descriptor records to any descriptor list, including an Apple event record. The AEPutPtr function converts data specified in a buffer to a descriptor record and adds the descriptor record to a descriptor list. The AEPutDesc function adds a descriptor record to a descriptor list. The AEPutArray function puts the data for an Apple event array into a descriptor list.
