A caveat: typeApplicationBundleID just picks whichever target if there
is more than one instance of an app with the same bundle id running.
This can be the case if, for example, you're running both the current
version of PowerPoint and an older version. typeProcessSerialNumber
will always target the specified process.
To go from pid to PSN, you can use the Process Manager's
GetProcessForPID(). This will require you to link in -framework
ApplicationServices.
To send high-level events, you'll not only need to have a connection
to the window server, but, depending on what you're doing, the Mach
bootstrap namespace might also be an issue. See TN2083 "Daemons and
Agents" for further details.
