- Hi Jay,
-
- I have developped MacApp 3.0.1 classes with AE's and it is working. I'm using
- only the kAEWaitReply option, thus the client is waiting for answer from the
- server and eventually resulting in a timeout-error.
-
- I was experimenting during some while until i found a *nice-OOP* solution.
- I overwrote the 'DoAppleCommand' in the TDocument or TFileBasedDocument, but
- this didn't work, so i overwrote it in the TApplication with a little trick
- (searching the TDocument with a specific FileSpec).
-
- The classes are part of my *framework-above-MacApp*: ie a DB access method.
- I can convert it to a *NothingAE* example, but this will take some time. If
- there are a lot of members interresting in this stuff, i will do it and first
- submit it to a *specialist* (because it is not perfect! - sending a request to
- a server on another Mac is not tested - later when i receive my PB 180) and
- eventually it is worth for an article in FrameWorks.
-
- Next step will be OSL, after the DU course on diskette (after NewYear), which
- is very good (i compiled the whole stuff once), but THINK C 5.0.

- > The official documentation is weak
-
- 1. 'Programmer's Guide to MacApp' gives anly one example (Publish/Subscribe)
- 2. Develop CD 'AppleEventoMacApp3.0b1o7.0' (Japanese example) is not clear
- 3. Develop CD 'AEObject-Edition1.0.2 Sample' is very good, but non-MacApp
-
- Regards
- Willy
-
- ps: If you implement AE's, use 'AETracker 3.0', which is VERY GOOD for
- debugging AE's
