Hi,

As usual I'm confused.

The script below fails many places. The GUI script example says to use "Keystroke with,,," That errors.

I think that this changed when Panther was released. In the System Events beta for Jaguar users, "with" works.

The dictionary says keystroke "R" using control down / shift down / command down. That errors; "Can't make control down into a real.

If I comment out the "Tell System events" the tool show.

if I comment out only the keystroke commands then the Tools appear only momentarily.

Enabling only the "keystroke "K"..." line does not show the tool box.

If I can get all that to work then I will need to find out how to test for the existence of these windows so I won't be hiding them.

tell application "GraphicConverter"
activate
show tools of window 1 -- need GC 4.4.1b or later
end tell

Does this work?

tell application "GraphicConverter"
activate
show tools of window 1 -- need GC 4.4.1b or later
end tell

tell application "System Events"
tell process "GraphicConverter"
keystroke "I" with {control down, command down} -- show information
keystroke "K" with command down -- show toolbox
keystroke "R" with {control down, command down} -- show overview
keystroke "D" with {command down} -- show detail
end tell
end tell

I should have mentioned that I'm using OS 10.3.2.

"with" creates errors, however switching to "using" begins to work. Contrary to GraphicConvertor", the commands need a lower case "i" and a lower case "k". Now if can figure out how to test for existing windows.

I wonder why the dictionary says "using control down / shift down" when they mean "using control down, shift down"?

Thanks,
