Hi,

If you want to do this with applescript then you should do something like this in panther


tell application "System Events"
tell process "finder"
get every UI element of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell

I know the elements are nestled but is it posible to find out what the next
level of elements are with a script.

GUI Scripting was enhanced in Tiger to return arrays of UI elements from
appropriate attributes. In Tiger, you can do this sort of thing:

tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
get value of attribute "AXChildren" of UI element 1
end tell
end tell

or this (which will take several seconds to run):

tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
get entire contents of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
