Is it possible to access the keychain with BlitzMax? If so, how does one go about storing to/retrieving something from it?

I would have thought you would need to write some c functions to do this, then add these functions as externs in you bmx code. Cheers Charlie

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but did you ever get this working Queller? I want to store username and password details in the keychain.

It's actually quite an interesting project. I've put off trying it out, but it might fit well with my other recent Mac-only modules... I shall have a rummage over the weekend and see what needs done.

This would be a great asset to your Mac specific modules! (and I'm not just saying this because I'd want to utilise it)

I've added a new module to my maxmods SVN, BaH.Keychain. It covers the most common API functionality. If anyone needs more low-level access, I can look into it... Some more info here. Have fun :-)

Quality! Thanks again for your valued contributions. My current project would not be going quite so smoothly without them - I'm already using your libcurl and libxml modules.
