Enumeration Type Documentation

anonymous enum

anonymous enum

The specific type for the AppleScript instance of the Open Scripting Architecture type.

ComponentCallNow(kASSelectInit, 28); This call can be used to explicitly initialize AppleScript. If it is not called, the a scripting size resource is looked for and used. If there is no scripting size resource, then the constants listed below are used. If at any stage (the init call, the size resource, the defaults) any of these parameters are zero, then parameters from the next stage are used. ModeFlags are not currently used. Errors: errOSASystemError initialization failed These values will be used if ASInit is not called explicitly, or if any of ASInit's parameters are zero:

 ComponentCallNow(kASSelectGetSourceStyleNames, 8);
 This call returns an AEList of styled text descriptors the names of the
 source styles in the current dialect.  The order of the names

corresponds to the order of the source style constants, below. The style of each name is the same as the styles returned by ASGetSourceStyles.

 Errors:
 errOSASystemError       operation failed

Elements of STHandle correspond to following categories of tokens, and accessed through following index constants:

ASInit()

OSAError ASInit	(	ComponentInstance	scriptingComponent,

		long	minStackSize,
		long	preferredStackSize,
		long	maxStackSize,
		long	minHeapSize,
		long	preferredHeapSize,
		long	maxHeapSize
	)

This selector is used to query a context as to whether it contains a handler for the kAEOpenDocuments event. This allows "applets" to be distinguished from "droplets." OSAGetScriptInfo returns false if there is no kAEOpenDocuments handler, and returns the error value errOSAInvalidAccess if the input is not a context. ASInit()
