Maybe you can use 'osascript' via LEP. Like: -- Displaying a dialog with osascript osascript -e 'display dialog ""' returns execution error: No user interaction allowed.
One option is to tell a background process like SystemUIServer to display the dialog: answer=$(osascript -e 'try tell application "SystemUIServer" set answer to text returned of (display dialog "" default answer "") end try activate application (path to frontmost application as text) end answer end' | tr '\r' '\n') [[ $answer ]] || exit You can also tell the frontmost application to display a dialog, but the dialog isn't shown immediately if the application is not responding. If MPlayer OS X is frontmost, text dialogs don't accept any keyboard input. answer=$(osascript -e 'try tell application (path to frontmost application as text) text returned of (display dialog "" default answer "") end end' | tr '\r' '\n') [[ $answer ]] || exit Bernd 2018-03-06 16:07 GMT+01:00 Herr Alexander Heintz via 4D_Tech < [email protected]>: > Hi Folks, > > does anyone know, if it is possible to talk to 4D from AppleScript? > I have a small application that receives information form a phone system > and can launch an AppleScript. > Now I would like this to „talk“ to 4D. > Any ideas, is it even possible? > > Thanks > Alex > > ********************************************************************** > 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) > FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html > Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html > Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech > Unsub: mailto:[email protected] > ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
