Hello! I’m new to these forums and need some help in writing an Applescript. I want to create a window in which the user can choose some actions to be performed. Eg. If the user selects both “A” and “B”, then ActionA and ActionB will be run. It would be better if instead of a list with selectable items there would be checkboxes. I can’t install the Studio right now, and wanted to know if this can be done with the AppleScript Editor…
Thanks!
set Options to {"A", "B", "C"}
on ActionA()
say "A"
display dialog "Alkaline" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end ActionA
on ActionB()
say "B"
display dialog "Badger" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end ActionB
on ActionC()
say "C"
display dialog "Combustion" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end ActionC
set ListA to (choose from list Options with prompt "Choose items to be spoken. Hold command (⌘) to select multiple letters" with title "I like chocolate" with multiple selections allowed) as text
if ListA is "A" then
ActionA()
end if
if ListA is "B" then
ActionB()
end if
if ListA is "C" then
ActionC()
end if
. in some cases. choose from list returns ‘false’ if the “Cancel” button’s clicked, so you need to generate your own “User canceled.” error. Also, since you’re allowing multiple selections, you shouldn’t coerce the result list to text, but leave it as it is and test to see if it ‘contains’ the selected triggers. Finally, it’s considered bad form to intersperse handlers with bits of the implicit ‘run’ handler, so the first line in your script should be moved to join those at the end (or they moved to join it).

on ActionB()

display dialog "Badger" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end ActionB
on ActionC()
say "C"
display dialog "Combustion" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end ActionC
set Options to {"A", "B", "C"}
set ListA to (choose from list Options with prompt "Choose items to be spoken. Hold command (⌘) to select multiple letters" with title "I like chocolate" with multiple selections allowed)
if (ListA is false) then error number -128
if (ListA contains "A") then
ActionA()
end if
if (ListA contains "B") then
ActionB()
end if
if (ListA contains "C") then
ActionC()
end if
