Callback Constants for the AEResolve Function

Overview

You use these constants to supply a value for the callbackFlags parameter to the AEResolve(_:_:_:) function. This value specifies whether your application supports whose descriptors or provides marking callback functions. To obtain a value for this parameter, you can add together constants to set the appropriate bits, as shown in the following example (for an application that supports both whose tests and marking):

    AEDesc objectSpecifier; // Previously obtained object specifier.     AEDesc  resultToken;
    OSErr myErr;
 
    myErr = AEResolve (&objectSpecifier,
                        kAEIDoWhose + kAEIDoMarking, &resultToken)

AppleScript generates whose clauses from script statements such as the following:

tell application "Finder"
    every file in control panels folder whose file type is "APPL"
end tell
