Required Scripting Component Routines / Manipulating the Active Function

OSASetActiveProc

You can use the OSASetActiveProc routine to set the active function that a scripting component calls periodically while executing a script.

FUNCTION OSASetActiveProc(scriptingComponent: ComponentInstance;
                          activeProc: OSAActiveProcPtr;
                          refCon: LongInt): OSAError;

scriptingComponent

A component instance created by a prior call to the Component Manager function OpenDefaultComponent or OpenComponent (see page 10-4).

activeProc

A pointer to the active function to set. If the value of this parameter is NIL, OSASetActiveProc sets the scripting component's default active function.

refCon

A reference constant to be associated with the active function. This parameter can be used for many purposes; for example, it could contain a handle to data used by the active function.

RESULT CODES

noErr	0	No error
errOSASystemError	-1750	General scripting system error
badComponentInstance	$80008001	Invalid component instance
