Optional Scripting Component Routines

Coercing Script Values

Scripting components can provide support for two optional routines, OSACoerceFromDesc and OSACoerceToDesc, which coerce data in a descriptor record to a script value and coerce a script value to data in a descriptor record, respectively.

A scripting component that supports the routines in this section has the kOSASupportsAECoercion bit set in the componentFlags field of its component description record.
