The Application Kit

The Application Kit is the starting point for all applications. Its classes establish an application as an identifiable entity--one that can cooperate and communicate with other applications (including the Tracker). It lays a foundation for the other kits. Before designing and building your application, you should become comfortably familiar with this basic kit.

There are four parts to the Application Kit:

The messaging framework is described in the next section, followed by a discussion of scripting, and the BApplication class beginning on page 29. The other classes follow in alphabetical order.
