The reference to the item is a member of two splitter groups.
button "Clear" of splitter group 1 of group 3 of splitter group 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 of window 1
That doesn't compile in the Script Editor in 10.6.8 and when expanding the line into a bunch of tell blocks, it appears that AS doesn't know what a splitter group is.
Attempt below. Any ideas?
tell application "Xcode" -- click button "Clear" of splitter group 1 of group 3 of splitter group 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 of window 1 tell window 1 tell group 1 tell (splitter group) 1 end tell end tell end tell end tell
GUI Scripting terms like 'splitter group' are defined in the System Events terminology dictionary, not in Xcode's dictionary. You sent the 'tell' to Xcode, and it has no idea what a 'splitter group' is.
All GUI Scripting scripts should start like this:
tell application "System Events" tell process "Xcode" -- or whatever your target application process is .....
The 'tell' to "System Events" gives you the benefit of the System Events dictionary, which among other things happens to know what a 'process' is. |
