Data Array Constants

Specify an array type for storing or extracting descriptor lists with the AEPutArray and AEGetArray functions.

Overview

When your application calls the AEPutArray(_:_:_:_:_:_:) function to put information into a descriptor list or the AEGetArray(_:_:_:_:_:_:_:) function to get information from a descriptor list, it uses an array to store the information. The type of array depends on the data for the array, as specified by one of these constants.

Array items in Apple event arrays of type kAEDataArray, kAEPackedArray, or kAEHandleArray must be factored—that is, contained in a factored descriptor list. For more information, see AEPutArray(_:_:_:_:_:_:).
