Access to window info via UserTalk

[Oliver Wrede]

Hello.

Is there a way to access information about application windows via UserTalk (using OMPL Editor on a Mac)?

I am interested in following infos:

— font & font sizes

— with tables: Column width

— position of the cursor/marker

— a way to set the focuse to a node

— with tables and outlines: state of expanded nodes

It seems only some features are exposed to be used by UserTalk...

Regards,

OW

Hi Oliver,

Most of these are possible, and are documented on http://docserver.userland.com/ – see inline below...

Cheers,

Hello.

Is there a way to access information about application windows via UserTalk (using OMPL Editor on a Mac)?

I am interested in following infos:

— font & font sizes

See font- and style-related verbs under editMenu:
http://docserver.userland.com/editMenu/

— with tables: Column width

Column widths are not exposed as far as I know.

— position of the cursor/marker

The selection range and contents are implemented with wp verbs:
http://docserver.userland.com/wp/

— a way to set the focuse to a node

You can use op.go to navigate around an outline, or the ODB tree:
http://docserver.userland.com/op/go

... or use op.getCursor and op.setCursor to get/set the cursor position (make sure to read the notes):
http://docserver.userland.com/op/getCursor

— with tables and outlines: state of expanded nodes

For this you want op.subsExpanded, op.getExpansionState, op.setExpansionState, op.expand, op.collapse, etc:
http://docserver.userland.com/op/

It seems only some features are exposed to be used by UserTalk...
