CalendarStore Framework gateway

I’ve been working on a way to bring support for Leopard’s CalendarStore Framework to Applescript. I got started on this because I’d like to get a list of a given day’s events from iCal to use in a daily summary, but since iCal doesn’t return each occurrence of a recurring event, that makes it difficult. I am aware of Nigel Garvey and Adam Bell’s work on an Applescript solution to parsing the recurrence of a given event, but it seems this CalendarStore Framework is a cleaner method. I’m thinking of building a faceless background application to expose CalendarStore to Applescript (why Apple doesn’t do this is beyond me). Anyone interested in this, or worked on something similar? Any suggestions on a basic Hello World tutorial to adding Applescript support to a Cocoa application? I have basic programming experience, but I haven’t tackled much in XCode yet.

Hi, Brendan ” and a belated welcome. :slight_smile:

You might be able to get an answer to this in the AppleScript Studio & Xcode forum. It does looks as though CalendarStore Framework could offer a cleaner solution than AppleScripting iCal, though that sort of approach is currently beyond my own competence. :rolleyes: One obvious problem with it, if the solution’s not just for your own personal use, is that it will only work with Leopard. iCal’s available for systems back as far as Jaguar.
