Some times you must explore the UI elements before use it, because a button
can be enclosed into a group, into another group which is grouped into a...
Into a window. So, if you do a:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Internet Explorer"
UI elements
end tell
end tell
--> I get three: two windows (print and a web page, and a menu bar)
... UI elements of window "Print"
--> static text = no interest, image = no interest...
--> where is button "Print"?
--> must be within UI element 4 or UI element 5
... UI elements of UI element 4 of window "Print"
--> no, these are number of copies and so on
... UI elements of UI element 5 of window "Print"
--> HERE!
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Internet Explorer"
set frontmost to true --> I need this!
click button "Print" of UI element 5 of window 1
end tell
end tell
While we wait for a robust app which will do our life better & easier (I'm
sure PreFab UI Browser will be), this is the best way...
