Shouldn't I get an error instead of kAXErrorSuccess?
Probably. Even better would be for the Pick to actually work. :)
And while I'm on the subject of menus and menu actions, why do they
support
both the Pick and the Press action? They seem to do the same thing.
Historical artifact. I started out with one of the actions, but the
Speech Recognition team wanted the other one, so menus wound up
supporting both.
And how do I close an AXMenu UIElement once I've picked it? If I send
it a
Cancel action, it closes, but there is an extra flash so that it looks
as if
it was opened and closed twice in a row, rapidly. And there seems to
be a
timing problem, in that sending Cancel immediately after Pick sometimes
doesn't close the menu.
I don't know what's going on there. Please file a bug if you think
there's a problem here that needs to be addressed.
