Which app to target?


  • Subject: Which app to target?

Hello--

I wish to create an application that supports a single control window. The window contains a few text boxes and several buttons. I wish to code in AppleScript the operations that happen when the user clicks on the buttons or types into the text boxes, and what appears in the text boxes.

I could build the window in Filemaker, then run the AppleScript routines from Filemaker scripts. However, this would require that Filemaker be installed in target machines. This is workable, but expensive.

Can you think of a way that an AppleScript can create a window and put widgets on it without involving another application? Or perhaps a cheaper application?

Before I go research these things, perhaps you know off the top of your head whether Smile or XCode is likely to have what I'm looking for. Automater, maybe?

I'm looking for some general guidance here, then I'll go do the research.

--Gil
