Abstract: A sample to demonstrate tracking of background mouse, keyboard and tablet |
events using the EventMonitor API which is available in OS X 10.3.x and later. |
In order to track keyboard events, you must "Enable access for assistive devices" |
in the Universal Access Control Panel. There is no programmtic means to enable/diable |
this setting automatically. This sample can compile as a Universal Binary. |
To use this program, first open a Console window, then Launch this sample application and |
in the dialog box, check the types of events that you want to be logged. |
While this sample application is in the background all selected keyboard, mouse and |
tablet events will be logged to the console window. |
