i am using a code to simulate a 'Paste ' to the frontmost application using carbon on MacOS. Now, i need to do that to a specific application not in frontmost. I am using this code so far with the use of PostToPsn :
ProcessSerialNumber psn;
//Using 8844 for testing purposes (safari)
OSStatus err = GetProcessForPID(8844, &psn);
CGEventSourceRef source = CGEventSourceCreate(kCGEventSourceStateCombinedSessionState);
CGEventRef cmdDown = CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent(source,kVK_ANSI_V, YES);
CGEventSetFlags(cmdDown, kCGEventFlagMaskCommand);
CGEventRef cmdUp = CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent(source, kVK_ANSI_V, NO);
if(err == noErr){
CGEventPostToPSN(&psn, cmdDown);
CGEventPostToPSN(&psn, cmdUp);
CFRelease(cmdUp);
CFRelease(cmdDown);
CFRelease(source);
}
It works using just a letter but when doing a combo with command, it doesn't work at all.
