Call Method in AppleScript

it ‚call method‘ ist es mit AppleScript möglich auf Cocoa Methoden zuzugreifen. Der direkte Zugriff war aus eine AS Studio Projekt möglich. Einfache AppleScripts können diese nur über einen kleinen Umweg mit ‚Automator‘ bewerkstelligen.

Trotz dem Ende von AS Studio mit AppleScriptObjC will ich einige Beispiele hier auflisten. Mit ASOC sind die Möglichkeiten natürlich noch umfangreicher um auf Cocoa Klassen zuzugreifen.

-- bouncing dock icon for short time
call method "requestUserAttention:" of class "NSApp" with parameter 10

-- endless bouncing dock icon
call method "requestUserAttention:" of class "NSApp" with parameter 1

-- bouncing dock icon for short time

call method "requestUserAttention:" of class "NSApp" with parameter 10

-- endless bouncing dock icon

call method "requestUserAttention:" of class "NSApp" with parameter 1

-- Kapitalisieren (capitalize)
set foo to "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
