Hey Bastiaan,
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I still can't get the
click action to respond. Perhaps it's a 10.4 issue???
I've used UI Browser's 'click at' recommendation:
--------------------
tell
application "QuarkXPress" to
activate
tell
application "System Events"
tell
process "QuarkXPress"
delay 1
try
--
modify offsets as needed for hot spot
tell
button "Import..." of
window "Print Styles"
set
pos to
position as
list
set
siz to
size as
list
set
x to
item 1 of
pos
set
y to
item 2 of
pos
set
width to
item 1 of
siz
set
Height to
item 2 of
siz
click at {x + width / 2, y + Height / 2}
end
tell
end
try
end
tell
end
tell
--------------------
and the following:
--------------------
tell
application "QuarkXPress" to
activate
tell
application "System Events"
tell
process "QuarkXPress"
delay 1
select button 2 of
window "Print Styles"
end
tell
end
tell
--------------------
But in both cases the button flashes
blue, like it is actually being pressed but nothing happens. I even tried
sending the command 2 or 3 times in a row... flash, flash, flash - no action!
Is the click too quick, like I sometimes
have gotten away with when I went to click on a button but instantly realise
I didn't want to do it and it miraculously didn't activate, even though
it flashed for an instant? Can I send a more solid, longer, heavier kind
of click - a bash!? I've even tried using AXPress but nothing will work
apart from the user clicking it themselves. As you can see I'm getting
desperate! ;-D
Cheers,
Coj

Hi,
You can get the bounds of the print dialog.
Then you can claculate where to click. And click location
instead of an UIelement.
Also you can try to click an UIElement by numeric index
instead of an button with name.
I had the same problems with clikcing in the pdf perferences
of QuarkXpress 6.1. With clicking the UIElement by nummeric index solved
my problem. and Clicking on pallettes I calculate the bounds of the pallettes
and click location. In Quark I never say click button 1 or botton "botton"
because 80% doesn't work with my version of QuarkXPress. maybe this has
something to do that QuarkXPress is not written in cocoa.
Maybe this information helps you
here an example what I use for closing pallettes
closePalette("QuarkXPress
Passport", "QuarkXPress", "Typogrammen") --Typogrammen
is needed when closing the pallette style sheets and the programming language
is dutch
on
closePalette(theApp,
theProcess,
thePallette)
tell
application
theApp
to
activate
tell
application
"System Events"
tell
process
theProcess
tell
window
thePallette
set
windowPosition
to
position
set
locationToClick
to
{((item
1 of
windowPosition)
+ 10), ((item
2 of
windowPosition)
+ 7)}
end
tell
click
at
locationToClick
end
tell
end
tell
end
closePalette
