I am trying (still) to get a handle on GUI scripting and am finding
myself moving backwards, not forwards. Below is the simple script I'm
testing:
tell application "TextEdit" to activate
tell application "System Events"
if UI elements enabled then
click menu item "New" of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu
bar 1 of application "TextEdit"
else
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
display dialog "UI element scripting is not enabled. Check \"Enable
access for assistive devices\""
end tell
end if
end tell
The error I get:
TextEdit got an error: +class menI; "New" of +class menE; "File" of
+class mbri; "File" of +class mbar; 1 doesn't understand the click
message.
I can't imagine this is a syntax issue (what else would the command be
if not "click") and it looks like the GUI Scripting components are
working properly. Any ideas?
I'm running OS X 10.3.2
Thanks,
Henrik Boes
