"Accept all Changes" in Pages


  • Subject: "Accept all Changes" in Pages

Hello

Given a document of the program "Pages" open.

property theApp : "Pages"

tell application theApp to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell (first process whose title is theApp)
click button 6 of group 1 of window 1
end tell


triggers the button which gives access to the action menu.
I am unable to trigger one of the menu items (the first one).

UI Element Inspector describes the hierarchy this way:
<AXApplication: "Pages">
>AXWindow: "untitled.pages">
<AXGroup>
<AXButton>
<AXMenu>
<AXMenuItem: "Accepter toutes les modifications">

Is there a way to trigger this menu item?

Happily, I found an alternate track.

If I select all the document, Clicking the button "Accept" the changes behaves like an "Accept All Changes" item.

property theApp : "Pages"

tell application theApp to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell (first process whose title is theApp) to tell window 1
keystroke "a" using {command down} (* Select All *)
try (* filter the error sent if there is no change or if Change Tracking is not enabled *)
repeat until (get value of attribute "AXEnabled" of button 3 of group 1 is true)
delay 0.1
end repeat
click button 3 of group 1 (* "Accept" the Changes *)
end try
end tell


But I continue to be interested by the way to trigger the menu item
