AEArrayData
Stores array information to be put into a descriptor listwith the AEPutArray functionor extracted from a descriptor list with the AEGetArray function.
Declaration
struct AEArrayDataOverview
When your application calls the AEPutArray(_:_:_:_:_:_:) function to put informationinto a descriptor list or the AEGetArray(_:_:_:_:_:_:_:) functionto get information from a descriptor list, it uses an to store theinformation. The type of array depends on the data for the array,as specified by one of the constants described in Data Array Constants.
Array items in Apple event arrays of type kAEDataArray, kAEPackedArray,or kAEHandleArray mustbe factored—that is, contained in a factored descriptor list.Before adding array items to a factored descriptor list, you shouldprovide both a pointer to the data that is common to all array itemsand the size of that common data when you first call AECreateList(_:_:_:_:) to createa factored descriptor list. When you call AEPutArray toadd the array data to such a descriptor list, the Apple Event Managerautomatically isolates the common data you specified in the callto AECreateList.
When you call AEGetArray or AEPutArray,you specify a pointer of data type AEArrayDataPointer thatpoints to a buffer containing the data for the array.
