capturing the "Cancel" event from the Authenticati

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hello,

I have written a script that mounts network drives . After the mount command is issued the SMN/CIFS Filesystem Authentication box comes up. if I enter my passsword and click ok all is fine. However I want the script to realize that if the cancel button is selected the script needs to quit. How do I check to see if the cancel button was selected?

Thanks
Mike

It depends on whether or not there is a result returned when a dialog button is chosen. In your script, set a variable to the result and see if there’s anything there.

-- your mount command
set foo to the result

In a traditional AppleScript generated dialog, it would go something like this:

display dialog "Yes or No?" buttons {"No", "Yes"} default button 2
set foo to the result
if button returned of foo is "Yes" then
	display dialog "You chose Yes."
else
	display dialog "You chose No."
end if
