I am working with 'Palm Desktop' Version 4.1, on a dual 500 MHz G4 PPC PM, running MacOS X 10.2.6, with 'Script Editor' v. 1.9.
As per the Code below I can launch the 'Pam Desktop' and execute a number of Control actions.
What I cannot do is read or set the Value [Contents] of the 'Save As:' Text Field - of the Window, as a result of doing a 'File' Menu 'Export
'.
-----
tell application "Palm Desktop"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Palm Desktop"
delay 1
click menu item "Export
" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
tell window 1
-- Need to obtain Value [Contents] of 'Save As:' Text Field.
-- Need to set Value [Contents] of 'Save As:' Text Field.
click pop up button 1
click menu item "vCard" of menu of pop up button 1
click button "Export"
end tell
end tell
end tell
ignoring application responses
tell application "Palm Desktop" to quit
end ignoring
-----
I have tried:
'set myTempString to (the value of text field 1 of window 1 to "TempVCard")'
'set myTempString to (the contents of text field 1 of window 1 to "TempVCard")'
'set (the value of text field 1 of window 1) to "TempVCard"'
'set (the contents of text field 1 of window 1) to "TempVCard"'
..., and other variations, without success.
I have modified the Code to look at the results of using each of the above Lines - such as ..
tell window 1
try
set the value of text field 1 of window 1 to "TempVCard"
click pop up button 1
click menu item "vCard" of menu of pop up button 1
on error
display dialog "Fatal Error." buttons {"OK"} giving up after 3
click button "Cancel"
end try
click button "Export"
end tell
end tell
... with 'Fatal Error' always displayed when attempting to read or set the 'Save As:' Text Field Value [Contents].
Any assistance is appreciated.
