How can i make a search field in my app using applescript?

I am making an app and i would like to learn how can i add a search field, that will search the content of a window. BTW i am using xcode and applescript

Like pretty much all of the Cocoa documentation you will need to convert from Objective-C, but take a look at the Search Fields documentation.

  • How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes?

    In applescript...
    In another app - I have copied a song title to the clipboard...
    Q: Now - How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes to the clipboard contents?
    Q: Also how can I also open the main library itunes window?

    Hi Rev Dave,
    Q: Now - How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes to
    the clipboard contents?
    Unfortunately the only way I can think to achieve this involves the use of "UI Scripting". The other previous posters have given you the preferred method you should consider using. If you want to script iTunes so that you visually see the search take place in iTunes you'll need to use the method shown in the script I've posted below.
    Q: Also how can I also open the main library itunes
    window?
    Cyclosaurus has given you the answer to this part of your question already.
    Here is a script that (though ugly IMHO) should achieve what you are asking for:set theSearch to (the clipboard) as string
    tell application "iTunes"
    activate
    set allPlaylists to playlists
    repeat with aList in allPlaylists
    if name of aList is not "Library" then
    set view of front browser window to aList
    exit repeat
    end if
    end repeat
    set LibList to playlist "Library"
    set view of front browser window to LibList
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "iTunes"
    if "iTunes" is not in name of windows or ¬
    focused of window "iTunes" is false then ¬
    keystroke "1" using command down
    keystroke tab
    keystroke theSearch
    end tell
    end tellIn order for the above script to work you need to have "Enable access for assistive devices" enabled in the "Universal Access" section of the "System Preferences" application.
    If you have any further questions about the above script feel free to ask.
    Hope this helps...

  • How can i make PO number field as a mandatery in sales order

    Hi Friends,
    can any one help me for the following requirement
    how can i make PO number field as a mandatery in sales order
    Thanks
    Nitchel

    Hi
    You have to include the "Purchase Order" field in the Incompletion list.
    Purchase order field is a Header data in the Sales order.
    So you have to create an Incompletion Procedure for Sales document Header.
    There include the field "Purchase order" field, assign the "Status group" to it.
    You may activate the error/warning check box.
    Assign the Incompletion Procedure to your Sales document type.
    Go to Sales document type VOV8 and activate the "Incompletion message" field so that without entering PO number you can not proceed.
    Now whenever you will create an order (using the order type where you have assigned the procedure), you have to fill up the PO field or else you can proceed.

  • How can we make disable a Field of a FORM at run-time?

    Hi to everybody,
    I want to know that how can we make a filed DISABLE at runtime <whenever we run a FORM>.
    I know about SET-ITEM-INSTANCE-PROPERTY but don't know how to use it,
    please make it clear.
    I will be gratefull to all of you
    Thanking you in advance.

    There's no property values for enabled or disabled in SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY.
    Instead what you can do is set INSERT_ALLOWED, UPDATE_ALLOWED and NAVIGABLE to FALSE which basically what a disabled item behaves like.
    Regards,

  • How can I make the form fields show all inputted text?

    I am trying to create forms to collect customer data.  Currently, when I get them back from the customer, if they have typed in more words than the field box allows for, we have to scroll to read it all.  When we go to print the form, only the text that fits in the box will print.  Help!

    Your choices are:
    Make the field larger.
    Limit the number of characters that can be placed in a field.
    Export o Excel.
    Add a page with one large field with the same name as the problem field.
    Create a dynamic PDF using LiveCycle.
