Hi All,

I'm writing a 64-bit Cocoa application. I need to register for global key events. So I wrote this piece of code :

- (void)awakeFromNib
{
    EventHotKeyRef gMyHotKeyRef;
    EventHotKeyID gMyHotKeyID;
    EventTypeSpec eventType;
    eventType.eventClass=kEventClassKeyboard;
    eventType.eventKind=kEventHotKeyPressed;
    eventType.eventClass=kEventClassKeyboard;
    eventType.eventKind=kEventHotKeyPressed;
    InstallApplicationEventHandler(&MyHotKeyHandler,1,&eventType,NULL,NULL);
    gMyHotKeyID.signature='htk1';
    gMyHotKeyID.id=1;
    RegisterEventHotKey(49, cmdKey+optionKey, gMyHotKeyID,
     **GetApplicationEventTarget**(), 0, &gMyHotKeyRef);
}

But since GetApplicationEventTarget() is not supported for 64-bit applications I'm getting errors. If I declare it, then I don't get any errors but the application crashes.

Is there any equivalent method for GetApplicationEventTarget() (defined in Carbon framework) to use in 64-bit applications.

Or is there any way to get the global key events using cocoa calls?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Dheeraj.
