This page describes Tcl® calls that are no longer necessary but are retained to support legacy code. There is no reason to use these calls in new code. For information on the associated ToolBox calls and data structures, see INSIDE MACINTOSH: Interapplication Communication.
tclAE::build
Tcl wrapper for AEGizmosÕ AEBuild call. This call is largely
still present for legacy reasons, since an AEDesc and an AEGizmo are interchangeable from the
perspective of the Tcl programmer. One use of this call is for debugging;
you can use tclAE::build to confirm that an AEGizmo will build before you use in
production code. Otherwise, you don't really need it.
tclAE::build
AEGizmo
New AEDesc.
tclAE::disposeDesc
Tcl wrapper for ToolBox AEDisposeDesc call. There is no
particular need to call this any longer. Tcl garbage will dispose of
AEDescs for you, but there is no
harm in disposing of it earlier if you are done with it.
tclAE::disposeDesc
theAEDesc
None.
The specified AEDesc is
disposed of and its hash key is deleted.
tclAE::print
Tcl wrapper for AEGizmos AEPrint call. This call is only
still present for legacy reasons, since an AEDesc and an AEGizmo are interchangeable from the
perspective of the Tcl programmer.
tclAE::print
anAEDesc
AEGizmo string
representation of anAEDesc.
anAEDesc
is passed through AEGizmosÕ AEPrint.
