Code completion in Real basic is really good. If you type in an object
and add a period it comes up with all its elements and properties and
you can then start typing and it will narrow the list down.
I have always wanted a similar thing for applescript but because
applescript doesn't use dot notation for its objects I didn't know how
it could be done.
A few months ago I discovered some thing I never new about (doh! after
5 years scripting) and that was "'s" notation in applescript you can
say
get a of b of c
or
get c's b's a
so you could using that method come up with a drop down list of an
objects elements or properties in the script editor. If you type c's it
should then come up with a list of properties and elements of c which
you can choose from then repeat for that object. This could reach out
to the scriptable application to get the objects properties
Just a suggestion to any one at apple who is reading this on how to
improve the scripting environment
May be its in 10.4
