Mac OS X core foundation types.

[jeds]

So  I have to say it...  I hate  Xcode...  And I've been stuck  tryign to make  LabVIEW send and receive MIDI events under mac OS X...  i'm  kinda close to get this working  but  the  thing preventing  to  do it is that  I pretty much have to  call in  all the core mac os foundation types to  make the right calls...  you know CFstring... to get the CFString Refs and  all that  stuff...

It seems kind of weird that nobody has ever done that before so I was wondering if anybody knows if such a thing exists.

btw  don't know how big is the audience for this kind of thing but  as part of this  I'm building a cross platform midi  toolkit for labview called lvMidi... which I plan to  put on the  tools network once it works,  so  if people  would like to contribute time  you're more than welcome, the ultimate goal is to make virtual (musical) instruments! or something...

You should take a look at the VIs under vi.lib/Platform/CFString.llb and vi.lib/Platform/CFURL.llb.

They deal with CFStrings and some other stuff, so should give you a good idea how to deal with these things. Not trivial but a good start to get the idea.
