OK. Can you also try the same commands in AppleScript to check if
it works there or not. Something like:
tell app "System Events"
tell process "Hourglass"
set value of text field 1 of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 3 ¬
of splitter group 1 of window "Untitled" to "<string>"
return value of text field 1 of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area
3 ¬
of splitter group 1 of window "Untitled"
end
end
Same behavior as with appscript:
"unnamed customer"
If I focus the field manually (make it editable) and run the script
it changes the string and returns "<string>". If I then click
outside the cell and make it non-editable again the value returns to
"unnamed customer". This is consistent with its behavior in my
appscript. I must be missing something very obvious or is it just
not possible in this way to modify table view cells in this way?
Thanks for looking into this, I appreciate it a lot!
No problem. I'm afraid I still don't have an answer for you, but at
least that rules out appscript as a possible cause. If you want to
email me a copy of your app off-list I'll be happy to run some tests
against it to see if I can come up with anything. Another thing you
could do is post your question along (using the above AppleScript) on
the appscript-users mailing list - you're bound to find some folks
there with more GUI Scripting experience than me, and they might have
some ideas as well.
