When an event communicates with its target application, it uses so-called AppleEvents. Each target supports a certain set of AppleEvents. This set is different from application to application. As a result there are different DynRisk events for each supported target.
The following target applications are available:
窶｢ DynRisk
窶｢ DynLP
窶｢ Microsoft Excel 4
窶｢ Microsoft Excel 5
窶｢ Microsoft Project
窶｢ HyperCard
窶｢ AppleScript applications
Note that by linking to AppleScript applications, you can actually link to any other scriptable application.
Thus, if you need to link to some application not mentioned above, find out if it is scriptable. If so, it is usually relatively easy to write a small AppleScript application which can be used to pass data between DynRisk and the other application.
A DynRisk event has many different properties or attributes. Most of these can be viewed and edited in the 窶廢dit event窶 dialog box which appears when you 窶徙pen窶 an event. An event is opened by double-clicking it. Alternatively, you can select the event and use the 窶廾pen node(s)窶ｦ窶 command in the 窶廴odel窶 menu. [The latter method is most useful if you want to edit a sequence of events.]
The 窶廢dit event窶 dialog box is split up into two different views:
窶｢ Identity
窶｢ Event
To select a particular view, you click on its corresponding icon in the icon bar at the left-hand side of the dialog box.
The 窶廬dentity窶 view is the same for events, while the 窶廢vent窶 view depends on the target application.
