Re: Help please: Coding a pushbutton for a menuitem shortcut

Wow, I forgot something (sorry, in addition to reply twice for the same thread): there's an utility named "ae monitor" (maybe as a single word) that listens to AppleEvents (from any app to any app on all the operating system) and which translates them as RB's code. "ae monitor" is not free,

Glad you become an expert of AppleScript. There are things in the language I don't currently figure why they happen the way they happen ;-) Le 19 févr. 07 à 23:25 Soir, Lennox Jacob a écrit: > Thanks Arnaud, > I have "Applescript in a nutshell", by no means a nutshell - 500 > pages. > I'll

Hi Lennox, I can't recommend you any book, sorry. In my case, I first learned AppleScript (that was my first "programming" experience). Then, when I started using Realbasic, I discovered that AppleEvents seemed to do the same actions than AppleScripts. So I've used both RB and AppleScript at

Yes, using a keyboard shortcut to invoke a menu item from the OS is only useful for personal purposes. Le 19 févr. 07 à 15:08 Soir, Thom McGrath a écrit: It's also possible for people to change these commands using the Keyboard preference pane. On Feb 19, 2007, at 8:29 AM, Arnaud Nicolet w

Ok, so you are about to use my second suggestion. And, in fact, that's great: you're apparently making an OS X-only thing (I said "great" because simulating a keyboard shortcut is different on every platform; it will save explanations (and I also don't know for Win32)). Ok, I just tried tha

Re: Help please: Coding a pushbutton for a menuitem shortcut

You have 2 ways of achieving that. If you own the menu item, then you may move the code from the menu handler to a new method. Then, instead of invoking Command and colon in your code, you simply call the new method (you also call the new method from the menu handler so that the menu item d
