Justify buttons in TextEdit windows -- scriptable?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I know you know the ones I mean – the ones that set the justification of paragraphs or lines of text in a Rich Text window (left, center, right, pagewide). The TextEdit scripting dictionary for TE in Panther doesn’t seem to include these (even as a “sometimes here, sometimes not” option) in the window class or anywhere else I could find. I suppose to get to them you would have to invoke System Events or some more potent system-wide utility?

Any suggestions?

Hi,

you can access the values of the radio buttons with this

tell application "TextEdit" to activate
tell application "System Events"
	tell application process "TextEdit"
		tell window 1
			get value of radio buttons of radio group 1 of group 1 of group 1 of UI element 3 of scroll area 1
		end tell
	end tell
end tell
