has, thanks a lot for your reply!
Should work, although hard to say why it isn't without some more
detail. A couple pointers:
Right, after years of replying to bug reports with "what version are
you using" I forget to include version info... I'm using python 2.5
and appscript 0.18.1, both from fink:
i appscript-py25 0.18.1-1 High level Apple event bridge
for Python
i python25 1:2.5.2-1 Interpreted, object-oriented
language
- If you're on 2.5 or earlier, post the complete appscript code
you're using to set the text field's value and the Python value you
get when you get it so we can take a look, e.g. something like:
ref = app('AppName').windows['Untitled'].splitter_groups[1] \
.scroll_areas[3].tables[1].rows[1].text_fields[1]
s = '<string>'
ref.value.set(s)
t = ref.value()
print (s, t, s == t)
# Result: ...
Ok, I've tried your example:
sysevents = app('System Events')
hg = sysevents.processes['Hourglass']
ref = hg.windows['Untitled'].splitter_groups[1] \
.scroll_areas[3].tables[1].rows[1].text_fields[1]
s = '<string>'
ref.value.set(s)
t = ref.value()
print (s, t, s == t)
Here's what I get:
[eris:sas/Hourglass-trunk/Tests] sas% python2.5 hg_test.py
('<string>', u'unnamed customer', False)
BTW, your code "app('AppName').windows['Untitled']" fails with
AttributeError: Unknown property, element or command: 'windows'
and I have to use the process from sysevents. I suppose this is
because my app is not scriptable and I'm using UI scripting? Is that
essentially the difference between app('xxx') and
sysevents.processes['xxx']? (I guess this has nothing to do with my
actual problem, I'm just curious.)
Cheers,
Sven
