AEGetInteractionAllowed Get user interaction preferences

#include <AppleEvents.h> Apple Event Manager

AEInteractionAllowed * level ; see below

returns Error Code; 0 = no error

You can use the AEGetInteractionAllowed function to get the current user

interaction preferences for responding to an Apple event.

The AEGetInteractionAllowed function returns a value in the level

paramter that indicates the user interaction preferences for responding to an

Apple event.

The value returned is the interaction level set by a previous call to

AESetInteractionAllowed. The default value of kAEInteractWithLocal is

returned if your application has not used AESetInteractionAllowed to

explicitly set the interaction level.

The level parameter returns one of the following flags: kAEInteractWithSelf,

kAEInteractWithLocal, or kAEInteractWithAll.

The kAEInteractWithSelf flag indicates that the server application may

interact with the user in response to an Apple event only when the client

application and server application are the same-that is, only when the

application is sending the Apple event to itself.

The kAEInteractWithLocal flag indicates that the server application may

interact with the user in response to an Apple event only if the client

application is on the same computer as the server application. This is the

default if your application has not used the AESetInteractionAllowed

function to explicitly set the interaction level.

The kAEInteractWithAll flag indicates that the server application may

interact with the user in response to an Apple event sent from any client
