Get the value of the cursor in variable AppleScript

I'm looking for a pointer on where to start with this project, please.

I want to create an application with a simple slider - say, the divisions of 10% on a scale of 0 to 100% - and then to feed this entry in a script variable.

I guess it will be something with AppleScriptObjC.  If this is true, can anyone recommend that a good getting started resource please?

Yes, you can use AppleScriptObjC, but there are also many other languages and tools that can be used.  Are you familiar with AppleScript and cocoa, or programming in general?  I ask because AppleScriptOBjC is a framework that allows you to access Cocoa classes and methods go AppleScript, so you would need to know a bit about the two of them.  In addition, the Interface Builder in Xcode is what is used to generate the UI for your typical application of cocoa, so you would need to know a little more about this as well.

Apple doesn't have a lot of specific other than their Release NotesAppleScriptObjC documentation, because they expect you to be able to use the existing Objective-C stuff.  However, an early AppleScriptObjC tutorial can be found at MacScripter.net, and something more to date can be found at MacOSXAutomation.com.

  • How to get the cursor to the first line after the addition of 3 rows in the OPS. Help, please.

    Hi Experts,

    I have a requirement to get the cursor should point to the first line instead of pointing to the third row. To the help of code below, my cursor points to the third row. Please put some light on it to reach the requirement

    XXCLKTestVOImpl vo = getXXCLKTestVO1();

    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i ++) {}

    Line = vo.createRow ();

    vo.insertRow (row);

    row.setNewRowState (Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);

    }

    Thank you

    Problem is solved. Since then, I've been on 12.2.4 Ebs version and was auto insert false setting in AddtablerowBean. To reach the requirement, you will need to refer to the same number of lines to add the addtablerowbean property that you use in loop for. here I use 3 looping so you must use the number 3 lines to add the addtablerowbean property to get there. So whenever you add three rows then cursor in the first row of three lines you will add. Thank you all.

    Thank you

  • My text box is frozen and has a dotted around her line, how can I get the cursor inside?

    My text box is frozen and has a dotted around her line, how can I get the cursor inside? I work in Indesign CS3, I wrote a page of A4 format with a unique and with a large amount of text inside text box. In the end, I brought a JPEG in the page. Now they have a thin line dotted around them and appear "frozen." I have not seen the dotted line instead of the line before usual text box.

    Points: The text box is not locked, the layer is not locked. Nothing on the page goes live with command + A to select.

    It happened between the Time Machine backups so that I can not restore.

    All I need are the captured keystrokes.

    What can happen when you put the JPEG, I myself can I have moved that file folder, a larger file, on the desktop, then placed the JPEG.

    Re-opening Indesign didn't work; restart did not work.

    Solutions appreciated.

    The dotted lines mean that your items are on a master page and not a document page.

  • How to get the Java instance variable in JSP custom

    Hello

    I decided to list some simple Java classes to use as instance variables. This should make it easier to do things with them in a JSP page since I know exactly what kind they are.

    My question is how to get my Java instance in the JSP page variable - I a screenflow with an Interactive component in what I would normally choose BPM interactive object call, but this allows BPM object instance variables not Java ones. So how can I associate my JSP custom?

    Thank you

    Neil

    In my view, that there must be a BPMObject that is passed into a JSP page. My suggestion would be to build a BPMObject as a "viewObject" with only the values you need and in the BPMObject constructor, load the java class data. And then possibly have a 'storeToJavaObj' method, you call after the JSP, which then stores the data to your java class if you wish.

  • I can't get the cursor to go dormant when entering text

    I change the setting in the Control Panel, but the slider that a writ remains frozen. next thing I know the letters I type where the cursor has been winding.

    Using a laptop? The most common cause for this is your palms brushing the touchpad while typing. Most laptops have additional settings in the mouse control panel area that allow you to adjust the sensitivity for the detection of palm.

    If this doesn't help not always you may want to disable the touchpad while typing, most laptops have a function key or a button to allow you to disable the touchpad.

  • In Illustrator, how can I get the cursor type to effectively indicate WHERE the guy is going to start?

    I don't understand. What is the point of having a cursor type at all if the cursor position doesn't look like whatever the point type will begin in? I checked all the Options in the type menu and any leader is zero, so there is no lag anywhere, but when I click on a particular spot on the page, it's because that's where I hope to see the type. What a laugh! No placement type correct, will never be. It must be scooted in place. using the arrow. Is it possible to make the entry point makes it a resemblance to the point ' by clicking on '?

    I don't see a problem:

    Your paragraph palette has something inside in addition to zeros? My guess is that you have left a big indent in the first field.
