Michael asked for this but others may be interested to file the answer away.
Dear Michael,
Below is the outline to create a script to locate a graphic.
:
1. first determine in which window the graphic is found, eg the RealWindow,
the focus window, the app main window, etdc.
2. determine the search direction and range, ie from top (use s_top), from
bottom (use s_bottom), and the range, (restricted or unrestricted,
s_restricted or s_unrestricted) restriction refers to whether the search
only looks at the immediate window supplied or whether it looks at child
windows as well.
3. You can assign a keystroke to the script or leave it as a function and
have another function call it.
4. using this window, the script needs to do the following:
script FindMyButton()
var
handle TheWindow, ; window handle of starting point
string theGraphicName ; name of graphic to find
; assume we want to find a graphic in the real window
; remember, real window is a window with a title
; need to get focus first and then real window
; relative to focus:\
let TheWindow=GetRealWindow(GetFocus())
let TheGraphicName="my button"
if FindGraphic(theWindow, theGraphicName, s_top, s_unrestricted) then
sayString(theGraphicName)
leftMouseButton()
else
SayString(theGraphicName+" not found.")
endIf
endScript
