Hi All,
My program is trying to save a document and then close it. the logic I
am using with Accessibility APIs is as follows
- Find file meun
- Send action command to menu item named "save"
- Wait while Close is disabled (keep on checking in a loop)
- Hit close as soon as it is enabled.
In my case application is illustrator 10 and I am saving an eps file
Now the code was working fine with Panther (10.3.9) but switching to
tiger the code break while trying to get kAXTitleAttribute of a menu
item. In following code, exception comes at last line. Plz c the code
and inline comments about output of each API call for both Panther and
Tiger.
if ((AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue((AXUIElementRef)mMenuBarRef,
kAXChildrenAttribute, (CFTypeRef *)&theMenuList) == kAXErrorSuccess) &&
(theMenuList != NULL)) {
numOfMenus = CFArrayGetCount((CFArrayRef)theMenuList);
// here I got menu list for both tiger and panther
for (menuIdx = 0; menuIdx < numOfMenus; menuIdx++) {
theMenu = (CFStringRef)CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(theMenuList, menuIdx);
AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue((AXUIElementRef)theMenu, kAXTitleAttribute,
(CFTypeRef *)&menuTitle);
if(menuTitle && ((CFStringCompare(menuTitle, CFSTR("File"), 0) ==
kCFCompareEqualTo)
// this point is also ok for both tiger and panther
if (AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue((AXUIElementRef)theMenu,
kAXChildrenAttribute,
(CFTypeRef *)&theMenuItems) == kAXErrorSuccess) {
//here I got problem For Panther Children menu items are 11 where
// for Tiger I have only 1
if (theMenuItems != NULL) {
CFIndex numOfMenuItems =
CFArrayGetCount((CFArrayRef)theMenuItems);
CFIndex menuItemIdx;
CFStringRef theMenuItem, menuItemTitle;
menuItemIdx = 0;
while (menuItemIdx < numOfMenuItems) {
// Grab menu
theMenuItem =
(CFStringRef)CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(theMenuItems, menuItemIdx);
// second problem at this point; for tiger I don't get kAXErrorSuccess
in following line of code
if(AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue((AXUIElementRef)theMenuItem,
kAXTitleAttribute, (CFTypeRef *)&menuItemTitle) == kAXErrorSuccess) {
.

Dave
