Class

SBElementArray

SBElementArray is subclass of NSMutableArray that manages collections of related SBObject objects. For example, when you ask the Finder for a list of disks, or ask iTunes for a list of playlists, you get the result back as an SBElementArray containing Scripting Bridge objects representing those items.

Declaration
