Sometimes you have to be devious, but Player has lots of hidden
tricks that can get you through some pretty ugly situations. I can't
imagine what it is you want to do that Player can't do, but then I
don't have that application.

When using " alt + ctrl + ?" on this application, prefab player
doesn't show any codes! It only beeps!
So I got no ID how to script this with Prefab!
In the absence of any information about the elements in the dialog,
you need to get the x,y coordinates of the particular element
manually. You can do this in a number of ways, but an easy way is to
take a screen shot of the dialog box and then open the image in
Graphic Converter. Graphic Converter has a tiny window you can open
that shows the position of the cross-hair cursor. Using this you can
get the pixel coordinates of any or all of the elements in the
dialog. Then you should be able to manipulate them based on position
instead of name. I'd be very surprised if Player can't make this work
for you.
