CMM development and Applescript Studio

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode
#1

HI all,

I’ve been looking around for some more info on Apple’s website about CMM development, specifically, using AppleScript Studio, however have been unsucessful in that endeavour.

Does anyone know where I can find some other related info, url, links, or have some useful pointers in this department?

Happy New Year to all!

TIA

I don’t know anything about developing contextual menu modules but someone has released a framework that might be useful.

I’ve been playing around CMM for the last couple of days, there is also a sample on apple website :

http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/Human_Interface_Toolbox/Mac_OS_High_Level_Toolbox/SampleCMPlugIn.htm

Also, don’t forget to have a serious look to the documentation about CFPlugin :
As HTML :
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFPlugInRef/
Or PDF :
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFPlugInRef/CFPlugInRef.pdf

and CFPlugInInstance :
As HTML :
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFPlugInInstanceRef/index.html
Or PDF :
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFPlugInInstanceRef/CFPlugInInstanceRef.pdf

Really take the time to read this docmentation, you’ll learn in the same time how to make plugins for the Script Editor, and it will save you a lot of time.

Ahh! Thanks JB! - I had looked all over Apple’s website but didn’t see anything that made me think “contextual menus” - Thanks for the links; I’ll be sure to read this stuff over well. :smiley:
