macOS Carbon framework

Hi

I was write a code :

#include <Carbon/Carbon.h>
 
 OSStatus KeyboardHandler (EventHandlerCallRef nextHandler,EventRef theEvent, void* userData){
	printf("event!\n");
	return noErr;
 }
 
 int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
 
 EventTypeSpec   kEvents[] =
 {
	 // use an event that isn't monitored just so we have a valid EventTypeSpec to install
	 { kEventClassMouse, kEventMouseDown  },
	 {kEventClassKeyboard,	kEventRawKeyDown},
	 {kEventClassKeyboard,	kEventRawKeyRepeat},
	 {kEventClassKeyboard,	kEventRawKeyUp},
	 {kEventClassKeyboard,	kEventRawKeyModifiersChanged}
 };
 
 
 OSStatus err = noErr;
 err = InstallEventHandler( GetEventMonitorTarget(), &KeyboardHandler, GetEventTypeCount(kEvents), kEvents, NULL, NULL);
 
 if(err != noErr){
	 printf("Error: Could not install carbon event hook for input!\n");
	 exit(0);
 }else{
	 printf("Installed handler, listening for events...\n");
 }
 
 printf("Entering Loop...\n");
 RunApplicationEventLoop();
 printf("Exiting Loop...\n");
 
 return 0;
 
 }

Mouse events work Ok !!! But keyboard events don't catch ! Please tell me why ? And, if not hard, please help me fix this problem!

EDIT: Never mind. I didn't read the code closely enough and thought it was using event taps.

Which OS version?

How are you compiling and running your program?

If it's in Xcode, which version? Debug or Release build? With or without debugger?

When I compile and run it on 10.5.8 in Terminal, it says "event!" for every mouse and keyboard event.

I use Mac OS X 10.6.2
Build with command : gcc -x c -arch i386 -m32 -framework Carbon exampleEvent.cpp -o exampleEvent

When I compile and run in Terminal, it says "event!" ONLY for mouse events !

Works fine for me, on 10.6.2 or 10.6.3.

gcc -framework Carbon carbo.c && ./a.out
gcc -arch i386 -framework Carbon carbo.c && ./a.out

Only the mouse down event worked for me on 10.6.3. I couldn't get Apple's EventMonitorTest to work either for the keyboard.

I tried your method, but nothing changed.
