Hi All, How can I get out of using System Events and do the same thing?
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "TextEdit" to keystroke (ASCII character 116) using {command down} -- opens the Font pallet
keystroke (ASCII character 99) using {command down, shift down} -- opens the Color picker
end tell
end tell
My guess is that we can’t get rid of GUI scripting to do that.
Just a comment: as ASCII character() is a dying command, it would be fine to edit this way:
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "TextEdit" to keystroke "t" using {command down} -- opens the Font pallet
keystroke "c" using {command down, shift down} -- opens the Color picker
end tell
end tell
Hi Yvan, Thanks for the heads up on ASCII characters and the rewrite. I appreciate it.
Tom

Hi Bruce, I and two friends are testing TextEdit’s ability to produce an html page.
We want to check the color tags along with all the other html tags at W3C.
