AEPutParamPtr

Use pointer to create Apple Event parameter

#include <AppleEvents.h> Apple Event Manager

OSErr AEPutParamPtr( theAppleEvent, theAEKeyword, typeCode,

dataPtr, dataSize );

AppleEvent * theAppleEvent ; Apple Event to add parameter to

AEKeyword theAEkeyword ; Apple Event keyword

DescType typeCode ; descriptor type of created record

Ptr dataPtr ; pointer to record created

Size dataSize ; size of record created

returns Error Code; 0 = no error

The AEPutParamPtr function takes a pointer to data, a descriptor type, and

a keyword and converts them into a parameter that it adds to an Apple event.

The parameter theAppleEvent is the Apple event to which you are adding a

parameter.

The parameter theAEKeyword is the keyword for the parameter. If there was

already a parameter with this keyword in the Apple event, it is replaced.

The typeCode parameter is the descriptor type for the parameter.

The dataPtr parameter is a pointer to the data for the parameter.

The dataSize parameter is the length, in bytes, of the data for the parameter.

For an example program showing use of this routine, see the description of
