tableEvent

Syntax	tableEvent (paramsAddr, resultAddr, appID, verbClass, verbID [, key1, value1 [..., keyN, valueN]])
Params	paramsAddr is the address of a table containing the values to be sent as parameters to the event. resultAddr is the address where the values returned by the destination application are to be stored. appID is a value identifying the application to which this verb is addressed. It can be a string4 containing the application signature, a binary value obtained by calling sys.browseNetwork or a string containing the application name or network address. verbClass is a string4 indicating the Apple event verb class. verbID is a string4 indicating the Apple event verb ID.
Action	Sends a Apple event of the indicated class and ID to the application identified by appID, one parameter for each item in the table at paramsAddr, and waits for a reply. Each value in the reply is then added to the table at resultAddr, with each item named according to the value's key in the reply.
Returns	True if the message is successfully sent; otherwise false. Also fills in the table at tableAddr with the values in the reply.
Examples	tableEvent (@scratchpad.labelInfo, @scratchpad.result, 'BARC', 'BARC', 'slab') » true The table scratchpad.labelInfo had been set up to contain the number and label of a column, which became the parameters to the "setBarLabel" verb sent to BarChart. The verb then created a table at scratchpad.result, containing a single item named '----' that is a boolean value true. If BarChart's reply contained more than one item, the table would contain additional values.
Errors	If the application indicated by appID is not running, or doesn't know how to handle the given verb, an error will occur.
Platform Notes	This verb is only implemented in the Mac OS version of Frontier.
Notes	There is no difference between calling tableEvent and calling complexEvent with the table at paramsAddr included in the parameter list. Using this verb highlights the fact that a table is being used as the source for the parameters.
