I've written a script using system events that attempts to click on a checkbox implemented inside of a table view. The following code does not work:

activate application "System Preferences"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
click checkbox 1 of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of tab group 1 of window 1
end tell
end tell

I have searched high and low, but to no avail, for a solution to this travail. This stubborn checkbox will not be clicked! Can anyone offer an idea?

Theron,

You may need to do some exploration to find out if all of those elements are indeed #1. For example, try something like this to see what may be what (from Date & Time within Date & Time):

tell application "System Events" to get class of UI elements of group 1 of tab group 1 of window 1 of process "System Preferences" --> {button, button, group, group, static text, button, button, combo box, «class swiB» [checkbox]} <--contains four buttons, and two groups

PS: You can script time changes with vanilla Sys X AS.
