Hi,

I've been trying to play with using the Accessibility API to do some automated 
testing.

I am at a loss when trying to deal with Pointer objects. I've tried playing 
with them and googling it, but I just cannot figure out how to turn a pointer 
into a more useful type or to get what I want out of them.

For example, I can start like this:

        framework 'Cocoa'

        unless AXAPIEnabled() # only works if I include the parenthesis
                puts 'Please enable Access for Assistive Devices first'
                exit 2
        end

        mail              = 
NSRunningApplication.runningApplicationsWithBundleIdentifier('com.apple.Mail').first
        mail_object = AXUIElementCreateApplication mail.processIdentifier 

        names = Pointer.new :object

        AXUIElementCopyAttributeNames mail_object, names


But then how do I get the values out of the names pointer? For reference, I 
found the functions in AXUIElement.h.


Thanks,
        Mark
