Segmented Control - variable not defined

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode
#1

I’m trying to simply change set a variables value depending on what segment is clicked in the segmented control but for some reason, it just keeps saying theSegment is not defined.
Here’s my code:


property social : false
property theSegment : missing value
on clicked theObject
	if the name of theObject is "viewControl" then
		set theSegment to (call method "selectedSegment" of "viewControl")
		if theSegment is 0 then
			set social to true
		end if
	end if
end clicked

anyone? :confused:

Hi hendo,

it is most likely because your call method is failing. If a call method fails it doesn’t generate an error you will just get the error you are seeing that your variable isn’t defined. I would assume it’s because you aren’t referencing segmented control correctly Ex.


tell control "viewControl" of window "yourNameHere"
set theSegment to call method "selectedSegment" of it
end tell

but if all else fails you can do try this as well.

           set social to true
       end if
   end if
end clicked
