21 /*! @header GrowlApplicationBridge-Carbon.h
22 * @abstract Declares an API that Carbon applications can use to interact with Growl.
23 * @discussion GrowlApplicationBridge uses a delegate to provide information //XXX
24 * to Growl (such as your application's name and what notifications it may
25 * post) and to provide information to your application (such as that Growl
26 * is listening for notifications or that a notification has been clicked).
28 * You can set the Growldelegate with Growl_SetDelegate and find out the
29 * current delegate with Growl_GetDelegate. See struct Growl_Delegate for more
30 * information about the delegate.
35 /*! @struct Growl_Delegate
36 * @abstract Delegate to supply GrowlApplicationBridge with information and respond to events.
37 * @discussion The Growl delegate provides your interface to
38 * GrowlApplicationBridge. When GrowlApplicationBridge needs information about
39 * your application, it looks for it in the delegate; when Growl or the user
40 * does something that you might be interested in, GrowlApplicationBridge
41 * looks for a callback in the delegate and calls it if present
42 * (meaning, if it is not <code>NULL</code>).
44 * @field size The size of the delegate structure.
45 * @field applicationName The name of your application.
46 * @field registrationDictionary A dictionary describing your application and the notifications it can send out.
47 * @field applicationIconData Your application's icon.
48 * @field growlInstallationWindowTitle The title of the installation window.
49 * @field growlInstallationInformation Text to display in the installation window.
50 * @field growlUpdateWindowTitle The title of the update window.
51 * @field growlUpdateInformation Text to display in the update window.
52 * @field referenceCount A count of owners of the delegate.
53 * @field retain Called when GrowlApplicationBridge receives this delegate.
54 * @field release Called when GrowlApplicationBridge no longer needs this delegate.
55 * @field growlIsReady Called when GrowlHelperApp is listening for notifications.
56 * @field growlNotificationWasClicked Called when a Growl notification is clicked.
57 * @field growlNotificationTimedOut Called when a Growl notification timed out.

628 * GrowlApplicationBridge's knowledge.
629 * @discussion This function creates a registration dictionary as best
630 * GrowlApplicationBridge knows how.
632 * First, GrowlApplicationBridge examines the Growl delegate (if there is
633 * one) and gets the registration dictionary from that. If no such dictionary
634 * was obtained, GrowlApplicationBridge looks in your application's main
635 * bundle for an auto-discoverable registration dictionary file. If that
636 * doesn't exist either, this function returns <code>NULL</code>.
638 * Second, GrowlApplicationBridge calls
639 * <code>Growl_CreateRegistrationDictionaryByFillingInDictionary</code> with
640 * whatever dictionary was obtained. The result of that function is the
641 * result of this function.
643 * GrowlApplicationBridge uses this function when you call
644 * <code>Growl_SetDelegate</code>, or when you call
645 * <code>Growl_RegisterWithDictionary</code> with <code>NULL</code>.
647 * This function was introduced in Growl.framework 0.7.
