- AppLauncher
- -----------
-
- A small C++ macintosh application with complete source code
- which shows how to launch, open with document, hide and quit
- remote applications, as well as how to open a control panel from
- within an application.
-
- In detail:
-
- How to send AppleEvents to the finder to launch an application
- How to send AE's to running applications to open a document
- How to do both of the above in the foreground/background
- How to send a quit AE to a running application
- How to 'Hide' a running process using the OSL
- How to open a control panel from within an application
-
- The bulk of the code was based on that by:
- Peter Lewis, [ peter@kagi.com ] (original Pascal source)
- Gilles Dignard, [ gdignard@hookup.net ] (initial translation of
- the above into C++)
- Their original postings to 'alt.sources.mac' have been included.
-
- #####
- Note:
-
- This code relies on the OSL and other advanced features of the
- System/Finder. You really need System 7.5 and AT LEAST the
- 'Finder Scripting Extension' installed in order to make
- use of this code. (Come-on guys, it's 1995 already!)
-
- Also, for 'AppLauncher' to work, you need to have a copy of
- 'TeachText' or 'SimpleText' somewhere on one of your drives.
-
- Furthermore, do not delete this 'READ_ME' file! It is used
- by 'AppLauncher' to show how to open documents remotely!
