Hi all,
I'm trying to get the location of each field in a layout in an
AppleWorks database. I can get as far as locating where all the
fields are on the layout, but just not which one is which.
For instance, to locate the first field object on the layout, and
get its properties (eg color and location):
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
select menu item "Layout" in menu "Layout"
tell drawing area of front document
repeat with fieldSearch in graphic objects
if class of fieldSearch is field then
set fieldFound to contents of fieldSearch
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
get fieldFound
get properties of fieldFound
end tell
end tell
But I can't find a way to get the name of the database field that
the graphic object field (fieldFound) represents.
Any ideas?
Hello
As far as I know there is no way thru official tools.
If you wish I may ask to a friend which has deep knowledge about some
structures used by the pair AppleWorks + AppleScript.
Just a personal comment.
On this forum some ones are not using english AppleWorks. I would be
fair to take care of them.
It was not really difficult to replace the "english specific"
select menu item "Layout" in menu "Layout"
by the world wide recognised:
select menu item 3 in menu 5
