I’m green at Applescript (at best). I wrote a script that opens System Preferences and then, with a second run of the same script, opens “Mission Control” on Yosemite. Both runs of the script produce an error dialogue box, “Can’t get menu item “View” of menu bar 1 of process System Preferences…”
But it does it what I want it to do: It opens Mission Control.
My goal is to display Mission Control to the user - with one run of the script - and then request the that user choose “As Space” in Dashboard (for this request, I can merely write a dialog box - so, no worries there). If the user doesn’t choose “as space,” then the script aborts. Another way to go: If the user chooses “as overlay” (in Dashboard) the script aborts (either “off” or “as space” - in Dashboard - works for me).
Is that possible? I’d be really grateful for any help…thank you in advance.
