</banner>
<pre width="80">
The OSA Event Manager uses the Presentation Manager to send OSA events
between applications on the same computer.
<p>
Applications typically use OSA events to request services and information
from other applications or to provide services and information in response
to such requests. For example, any application can use the Get Data OSA
event to request that your application locate and return a particular set
of data, such as a table. If your application supports the Get Data
event, it should be able to recognize the event and respond by locating
the requested data and returning a copy of the data to the application
that requested it.
<p>
Communication between two applications that support OSA events is
initiated by a client application, which sends an OSA event to request a
service or information. For example, a client application might request
services such as printing specific files, checking the spelling of a list
of words, or performing a numeric calculation; or it might request
information, such as one customer's address or a list of names and
addresses of all customers living in Florida. The application providing
the service or the requested information is called a server application.
<p>
The client application uses OSA Event Manager routines to create and send
the OSA event, and the server application uses OSA Event Manager routines
to interpret the OSA event and respond appropriately. If the client
application requests that the server application adds information to a
reply OSA event, the server application adds the information that the OSA
Event Manager returns to the client application.
<p>
If an OSA event is one of the standard events defined in the OSA Event
Registry: Standard Suites, the client application can construct the event
and the server application can interpret it according to the standard
definition for that event. To ensure that an application can respond to
OSA events sent by other applications, it should support the standard OSA
events that are appropriate for the application.
