How do I select current Event in Applescript?

I'm trying to create an Applescript that will act on the actively selected Event in iCal. The equivalent functionality in Mail is accomplished by setting your variable to "selection".
However, in iCal, selection is not a property, and I can't find anything similar. The only way appears to be to get all events in a calendar, then prompt to choose which one you want.
Any help would be appreciated.
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iCal 2.0.4

John, thanks for your answer. However, I was hoping for a programmatic way, just by having the Event selected, instead of having to type in begin and end dates each time I want to select an Event.
Actually, I think I did figure out a way to do it last night, through a round-about way. I found someone else's script that copies the selected Event to the clipboard, then pulls out the first 2 lines of text, which are the Summary and Date. I then have my script repeat through all Events looking for the Event that has the same Summary. Once it finds it, I then have the reference to my selected Event.
I patched it together with another script I found, so I can now manually change the Attendee status for Events, since iCal won't automatically process replies from MS Outlook users. If anyone's interested in my finished applescript, let me know, and I can post it here.

  • How to generate selection change event through code in JTree?

    I am developing an application which downloads the file from other system and adds it into the tree. On selecting any file in the tree I m displaying it's contents. But now i am trying to display the contents of downloaded file as soon as it's download completes. Here i am not getting the way to how to generate the event as the download completes, because i tried that setSelectionPath(TreePath path), but it also don't generates the selection change event. Is there any other way to do so?

    Put null in place of oldLeadSelectionPath. From the API for TreeSelectionEvent:
    protected TreePath     oldLeadSelectionPath:
    leadSelectionPath before the paths changed, may be null.
    I'm at the office and can't try out anything, so please let me know whether that works for you.

    edit Or it may be easier to put all code from your valueChanged (...) override in a new method and invoke that method both from valueChanged (...) and wherever else you need.

  • How do I select multiple events in iCal 8.0?

    In OSX Mavericks, I used to be able to select multiple events in iCal in the event list view. I could select the initial event in the span of events to be selected. Then hold Shift while selecting the final even in the span of events. As a result, all of the events in that span would be selected.
    in OSX Yosemite, this is no longer possible. There appears to be no list view, and holding the Shift button does not allow me to select a span of events.
    What is the best way to select a span of events, say as much as 30 events?
    Thank you.

  • How to copy selected files in Finder (applescript)

    I don't like to use hotkeys (such as CMD+C, etc.) and would prefer to copy and paste files in OS X with the mouse just like I did in Windows.
    Unfortunately Finder has no such copy and paste buttons in its toolbar like I know them from Windows Explorer. It bothers me that I always have to use the context menu or hotkeys. So I intend to write small scripts with AppleScript and move them into the Finder toolbar to have my custom made buttons.
    Unfortunately I am newbie to Applescript and did not yet manage to get such simple script to work despite many trials.
    The first script must only copy marked/selected files or folders in Finder to the clipboard so that I can paste them into another Finder window.
    The second script should simply paste the clipboard content into Finder.
    I tried this but nothing is being copied:
    tell application "Finder"
    activate
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
    key down {command}
    keystroke "c"
    key up {command}
    end tell
    Would be great if somebody can help me with these few lines.
    Thanks in advance

    meanwhile got a reply in another forum that works like charm exactly as I want...I post it here below for future newbies...
    tell application "Finder" activate
    delay 0.2
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Finder"
    keystroke "c" using command down
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    save as program and then drag to Finder toolbar.
    You can even change the icon.
    Thanks for your attention guys

  • HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT  HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

    I have a big problem.
    I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
    HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
    (Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
    All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
    Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
    Thank you

    One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
    Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

  • How to get rid of the loop in ALV output from At selection screen event?

    I have several push buttons on a selection screen.
    Clikc on a button, then it pops up an editable ALV report. (This gets triggered AT SELECTION SCREEN event.). REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY_LVC..
    On the ALV output, I enabled F4 for a couple of fields. Once I click on the F4 button, ONF4 method gets triggerd and a pop up appears with custom search helps.
    choose a line and it fills the cell.
    Upto this it works fine.
    Now I click on the BACK button at the ALV output, it takes me to the selection screen. I click on the button again, it show the editable ALV. Now when I click on the F4 button, the pop up comes up twice and the cell gets filled from the second pop - up.
    How to control this?
    Probably I am not refreshing something?

  • How to prevent AT SELECTION-SCREEN event on second Selection Screen

    Hi All
    I have a program in which I am entering some parameters in a selection screen and also validating them in AT SELECTION-SCREEN events. After validating them the program shows another selection screen in which I have some push-buttons. I have some events on those push-buttons also.
    However I am facing a different problem now. When I execute the second selection screen I get the report, and when I click on back button then it again triggers the AT SELECTION SCREEN event of the first selection screen and displays the related messages.
    How to prevent this ? Is there any way where I can restrict the execution of selection screen events for a particular selection screen?
    Amol

    Hi,
        try this logic when Ist selection screen validation
         is done set a flag = 'X' .
          at selection-screen.
          if glag is initial

  • How do i get current active or selected page item's  reference

    Hi all,
    How do i get current active or selected page item's  reference .
    Please help me

    You can implement a selection suite for your need, this selection suite will be placed into the kLayoutSuiteBoss.
    In this selection suite place a method to give you the UIDRef of the selected pageitem, which you can get by using the method "GetUIDList" of the "ILayoutTarget" interface.

  • CS3 - Place Word document: How can I select the current preset?

    Hi
    In my Plugin I like to place a word document into a text frame. To do this I want select a defined preset before.
    How can I do that?
    How can I select the current preset for the placement (import)?
    Thanks for the support
    Hans

    Hi,
    I had posted a similar query few days back to place excel file in text frame. And I found out that, it is not possible to specify formatting option for any of microsoft document when using Indesign SDK.
    But we can do this by running script.
    If you are able to specify the formatting option through script, write code to get script object & execute this script through Indesign SDK.
    I was able to specify formatting option, sheet number, range etc through this.
    Hope this helps.
