Hi,
The 'choose from list' command does not support a 'giving up' parameter.
You have two choices I can think of:
1. Create a small app in AppleScript Studio with one window that has a
list of items to choose from.
This will require you to launch an app just for that one dialog.
2. Display a dialog with the following text (assuming for the example
that the list chooses an ice-cream flavor):
display dialog "Should I choose a flavor for you, or would you like to
choose?" buttons {"You choose", "I choose"}¬
default button "I choose" giving up after 4
if gave up of result or button returned of result is "You choose" then
set the_flavor to some_flavor
else
set the_flavor to choose from list flavor_list
end if
This way you are sure that the user will make a choice, and if the user
is not there, the computer makes the choice 4 seconds after.
Good luck,
Hanaan

Hi list,
In the display dialog event when we write
Display dialog "XYZ" giving up after 4
Dialog automatically disappears after 4 seconds.
I want to do it for
Choose from list.
I want that if user doesn't select for a number of seconds, a default
value to get automatically selected and the dialog get disappear.
How can I do that?
TIA.
