I’ve gotten stuck trying to write some automation for WebEx Meeting Manager application.
I’ve successfully told it to start a recording using the following:
tell application "Meeting Manager" to activate
menu_click({"Meeting Manager", "Meeting", "Start Recording"})
(menu_click is a little library I picked up somewhere…)
The problem is, it puts up a dialog box with a button “Next>” in it, like a wizard. I’ve tried to press it, but cannot. Here’s my script so far:
activate application "Meeting Manager"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Meeting Manager"
click button 3 of window "WebEx Recorder Setup"
end tell
end tell
I’ve confirmed that everything is working correctly, for example, I can open a dialog in Safari, and click the “close” button using the same strategy as above.
The most interesting part of all this is that running the above script makes the button “flash” but it appears to do nothing. UI Element Inspector says is an AXButton, and as far as I can tell everything about the button looks the same as the AXButton that is the cancel button in the file open dialog of Safari. I can dismiss the file dialog in Safari, but can’t seem to press this button.
Is there something else I can try?
