Hello, I am a novice to scripting but I have been able to do what needed to in the past. But i am stumped on trying to select input menu button of the international window of system preferences. Here is the code:
tell application “System Preferences”
activate
tell application “System Events”
tell process “System Preferences”
click button “Displays” of scroll area 1 of window “System Preferences”
delay 2
tell application “System Events”
tell process “System Preferences”
tell button 1
click button “Input Menu” of TabGroup of window “International”
end tell
end tell
end tell
The problem child id this line of code:
click button “Input Menu” of TabGroup of window “International”
If anyone has any solutions please let me know.
Thank You,

First of all, you’re telling System Preferences to click an element in the “International” window, but you haven’t opened that window yet; your code says:
Also, the Input button is a radio button, and that group of radio buttons is a tab group, not a TabGroup (I don’t think case matters, but the lack of a space turns the element into a variable name in your code).
This worked for me:
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
click button "International" of scroll area of window "System Preferences"
delay 2
click radio button "Input Menu" of tab group of window "International"
end tell
end tell
end tell
If you’re using UIElementInspector to figure out the object hierarchy of interface elements, the Processes Suite in System Events’ dictionary is a necessary (if evil) supplement.
