"missing value" in GUI scripting


  • Subject: "missing value" in GUI scripting
  • From: David Crowe <email@hidden>

I've installed the Beta GUI scripting, and I'm finding I get "missing
value" as the value for many parameters, for example:

tell application "Finder"
activate
select Finder window 1
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
return (properties of the first button of the
front window whose subrole is "AXToolbarButton")
end tell
end tell



returns:

{value:missing value, minimum:missing value, maximum:missing value,
title:missing value, subrole:"AXToolbarButton",
description:"AXButton", size:{26, 15}, focused:missing value,
selected:missing value, enabled:true, name:missing value,
role:"AXButton", orientation:missing value, help:missing value,
class:button, position:{331, 168}}


Is it not legit to ask for the properties? Is this an indication that
it's not properly installed? Is the beta not complete?
