Hi all,
I have set up a script to launch an application, and this works.
But the application opens and waits for the user to push the button "AVVIO" ("Start") to run.
I would like to tell the application, through the script, to push that "Start" button but have no idea.
(Btw, I am new to Applescript programming, so please don't shot!!)
Thanks all!!
When you save the script as an application, there is an option at the bottom of the save panel the controls whether or not the start panel appears. Click appropriate option.
Unfortunately it does not seems to work.
Still window on screen waiting for button to be clicked
😊😟 I missed the fact you posted an image. This message is coming from the applescript, I guess.
The easiest way, would be to send a return key to the app.

Look for the line:
click button "Ask"

Thanks,
I tried the suggestion of sending a "return" key.
I added the lines
tell application "System Events"
key code 36
end tell
And it works the first time I launch it; then if I close the app and relaunch, I get the window with the button to press.
Then, using suggestione of second link you sent, I added these lines
tell application "System Events" to tell process "RealtymeSync"
delay 0.5
tell process "RealtimeSync" to keystroke return
end tell
and it seems to work also on following request to launch the application.
Doing more tests but I'm faithful.
Thank you.
I will report the result of testing.

Now when I run the script for the first time, it launches RealtimeSync twice.
The on following run, it run RealtimeSync regularly once (without the window on view)

We need to see the complete script.

Tried again today and now the script behaves correctly.
I launched it 5 times and it opened the application only once every time.
May be yesterday there was something messed up.
Thank you for your patience and availability
By the way, just for completion, here is the whole script:
tellapplication "Finder"
if (count of Finder windows) = 0 then
open folder "Documents" of home
else
set target of first Finder window to folder "Documents" of home
end if
settargetofFinder window 1 tofolder "Applications" ofstartup disk
set target of Finder window 1 to folder "FreeFileSync_6" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
open application file "RealtimeSync.app" of folder "FreeFileSync_6" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "RealtymeSync"
delay 0.5
tell process "RealtimeSync" to keystroke return
endtell
tellapplication "Finder"
closeFinder window 1
end tell
Glad you succeeded.

How can I say an Application "Push that button"?
