The first of the weird problems i am facing with UI scripting is
numbers... I can not script a
keystroke a (where a is a number)
So keystroke 1 or keystroke 6 or keystroke 9 produces nothing.
Can anybody confirm this ?
follow up:
I can script keystroke "4" or whatever number, but not on the iBook,
only on the G4. Both running Panther.
Does this happens with all laptops? Can anybody else check please?
The second problem is with UI scripting and Windows Media Player.
the following script errors:
tell application "Windows Media Player" to activate
tell application "System Events"
set frontmost to true
tell process "Windows Media Player"
return title of menu bar 1's menu 5
end tell
end tell
--> get title of menu 5 of menu bar 1 of process "Windows Media Player"
--> "System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4"
However this works
tell application "Windows Media Player" to activate
tell application "System Events"
set frontmost to true
tell process "Script Editor"
return title of menu bar 1's menu 5
end tell
end tell
--> get title of menu 5 of menu bar 1 of process "Script Editor"
--> "View"
UI Element Inspector shows both menus 5 as being "titled" "View".
I really do not understand the problem.
thanks for any help!
The weird part is, the above scripts error in my G4 for all apps I've
tried. It simply does not work!
So, it works on my laptop, but it does not in my desktop, plus,
keystroke "number" works in the desktop but not on the laptop.
Something is probably wrong with this picture.
To the applescript team: be careful on what you write, both computers
are Apple Macintosh.... :)
Can anybody else try this as well? Thanks
