- Thread-topic: Need help in gui scripting
Hi All,
I am trying to write UI scripts for QuarkXPress. When I have a
click button "Say X"
in my script, the script editor does not give an error but the button
does not get clicked also. In the results tab in Script editor the
message 'Button X of application... of process..." is displayed which
means that the button is selected... But it does not get clicked. What
could possible be the reason and can you suggest any workarounds?
Regards,
Nandini
