Applescript. Making dependant buttons in dialog windows

[Bertus_Bolknak]

Hello, I am learning on making dialogs with Adobe InDesign CS3.
Is it possible to "grey out" some parts of the dialog window, depending on a certain selection of a radio button? I mean: I have a radio button group and depending on which radio button is selected, I want to grey out some other options in the very same dialog window that are not relevant anymore (for example some check boxes).
And if possible can anyone provide me with an example code?
And if impossible can it probably be done with Applescript Studio? I don't know.

Kind regards,
Bertus Bolknak

Hi Bertus,

In JavaScript – in ScriptUI, not in InDesign’s dialogs – you can set enable property of control objects to false.
As to Applescript Studio, I think, It’s possible too, but I’m not sure – attributes pane in the Info window has ‘Enabled’ checkbox. I did an interface with radio buttons group (BTW in Applescript Studio it’s called matrix) long ago, but it was quite a hassle. I was doing it by trial-and-error method as couldn’t find an intelligible reference. But the interface came out more attractive, and what was more important to me, Cyrillic characters were fully supported, as opposed to InDesign’s dialogs.

Script UI supports unicode characters...

You can do it in AppleScript Studio, although it's a steep learning<br />exercise. You can also do it in FaceSpan.<br /><br />-- <br />Shane Stanley <sstanley@myriad-com.com.au><br />AppleScript Pro Sessions <a href=http://scriptingmatters.com/aspro>
