Can anyone help me with a way to call the "Input menu" in menu bar 1 regardless of what application is running? I wish to have a script that runs with on idle and clicks the menu item 2 of the keyboard input menu every half hour to make sure it hasn't changed.

tell application "Finder" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
click menu item 2 of menu item 9 of menu bar 1
--delay 1
end tell
end tell
tell application theApp
activate
end tell

You need to _tell_ menu bar 1.

Unfortunately you will need the delay. UI scripting is a loose cannon.



tell app "System Events"
set current_process to process 1 whose frontmost is true
tell process "Finder"
set frontmost to true
tell menu bar 1 to click the second menu item in the menu "Input"
delay 1
end tell
set frontmost of current_process to true
end tell
