So, this did NOT work for me, either by running as admin OR by editing plist. There's something strange that happens when doing an event tap that's not working in a standalone executable. $5 to whomever solves it! Jonathan So I got it working with admin permissions no need to do anything in Accessib...

Thanks! Lots of interesting code to study there! I see that you're using a different technique to capture keys. I'm using an event tap because i'm trying to capture the numeric keypad as separate from the main number keys so I still have miles to go before I sleep, apparently. It makes no sense to m...

Argh! CGEventTapCreate is working perfectly when I run the program from within the IDE but it's returning a NULL (ie not creating the tap) when I tried to run as a complied executable. My app has permissions but still no tap is being created. There doesn't appear to be a built in error handler for t...

Is there are good article here on preparing a PBasic app for others. I'm totally new to developing for Mac so I've never even heard of an app "bundle." When I install things, it often seems as though it's just a single file that's being copied into the applications directory so I naively a...

Where am I setting the App ID? Sorry, if this seems elementary. i haven't had to do that before.

So, I have an app that is working perfectly finally, when run from within the IDE but when I compile to an app and run it. the app uses system wide hotkeys so, it asked for PureBasic to have accessibility permissions and, when granted, everything worked. Now, I'm making the executable and everything...

Yes, of course. Thanks. My programming skills are VERY rusty!

I found the include files online but it's strange I cannot find them on my Mac, having installed XCode and all. Final question, your code bring the target application to the foreground. Is there a way to send keys to an application in the background. Let's say you're running a Keynote presentation a...

So great! Thanks!
Where are the include files of which you speak: events.h and IOLLEvent.h

Presumably, if I wanted to do Command+Shit, I would just AND them, right?

Shardik, Do you believe this code should still work under Catalina? I'm getting an "invalid memory access." That make sense? Jonathan Eidos, thank you for the description of your intended project. Unfortunately I have no QuarkXpress to code a customized solution, but I have tried to find a...

did this question ever get answered?

I need to send keystrokes (ie Command+Shift+A) to an application window on MacOS. There are appear to be many examples of doing this on Windows but none for Mac. Is there code out there I have overlooked? Thanks!
Jonathan

Fair question. Ideally, I'd like to do things like automate Outlook, for example, that I think will work much better from PB

Looking to create a couple Stream Deck plugins, using PB. NOT looking to learn socket programming. Any chance someone has already done this? If not, is anyone interested in making a few bucks to code up a template and share it with the community? I'm interested in both Windows and Mac. Apparently, y...
