PostEvent with carbon

[DerangedPEZ]

hi!

according to apples developer documentation, PostEvent is supported in carbon apps, but it doesn't seem to have any effect when called while running os x. when i run the same app in classic it works perfectly... are os x native apps incapable of receiving "fake events" (ie events generated from PostEvent)?

thanks in advance,

I think MacOS X is not finding the 'target' of your event (a new Carbon Events concept), and is discarding it. In Carbon, there is a better call to post events, and it will work under OS 9, if I recall correctly. You just have to specify the target, which might be difficult to get the event target of another application.
