PFEventTaps Framework 3.1.2

The PFiddlesoft Frameworks include the PFAssistive and PFEventTaps Frameworks. They support and enhance Apple's Accessibility and Quartz Event Taps APIs, enabling Cocoa developers to use familiar programming techniques to create assistive applications without having to master the technicalities of Apple???*a*?s procedural C Accessibility, Core Foundation, and Core Graphics APIs.<br /><br />Apple's Accessibility technology grew out of Section 508 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and its requirements regarding access to electronic and information technology for persons with disabilities. Compliance with Section 508 is a prerequisite for sale of computer and other products to the federal government and to many state agencies and educational institutions. The Accessibility API is designed for use both by developers incorporating its features into their own accessible applications and by developers of assistive devices and applications for users with disabilities. The Event Taps API is also a Section 508 enabling technology.<br /><br />Because Accessibility and Quartz Event Taps are built into every standard Mac OS X User Interface element, whether written using the Cocoa or Carbon frameworks, the frameworks are capable of much broader uses. Software testing tools, network administration tools, troubleshooting tools, plug-ins for applications that don't have a plug-in architecture, and remote control applications are only some of the possibilities.
