I am trying to write an applescript that would change the visibility of Lions scrollbar (System Preferences > General). Normally I like to keep setting at "Automatically based on input device", but at home I use Wacom tablet, so I need to switch to Always
This is what I have so far:
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.general"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
if UI elements enabled then
try
tell process "System Preferences"
click radio button "Always"
end tell
end try
end if
end tell
But I always end up with an error
--> error number -1728 from «class radB» "Always" of «class prcs» "System Preferences"
at line "click radio..."
I tried various variation
click radio button 3 of Window 1
click radio button 3 of radio group 1 of window 1 -- error number -1719
I am obviously doing something wrong, but can't figure out what.
If you have the Developer Tools installed, there is an Accessibility Inspector application that will show you the hierarchy of a particular UI element:
