Hey there,
This is my first dabble in AppleScript, and my code is probably not as efficient as it could be.
I'm trying to automatically change the Internet Sharing "Connection From" pop up menu from one value to another, the value for which is determined using an if else statement. The problem is that every time the script opens the Sharing pane, the "Connection From" menu is always reset to AirPort and returns that value, even if I manually set the connection to VPN before running the script. Here's the code:
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preferences.sharing"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "System Preferences"
click checkbox 1 of row 10 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of window 1
if the value of pop up button 1 of group 1 of window 1 is "AirPort" then
click pop up button 1 of group 1 of window 1
click menu item "NAU VPN" of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of group 1 of window 1
else if the value of pop up button 1 of group 1 of window 1 is "NAU VPN" then
click pop up button 1 of group 1 of window 1
click menu item "AirPort" of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of group 1 of window 1
end if
click checkbox 1 of row 10 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of window 1
click button 2 of sheet 1 of window 1
end tell
end tell
tell application "System Preferences" to quit
I've also tried using the set command for the menu values instead of the UI .
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
