Prior to finding your example I’d spent many hours with youtube videos and other people’s broken tutorials trying to figure it out. I got the project building in Xcode 14 and eventually got it to fill a table with my own data but the time it took for me to understand how to work with that one control left me feeling old, stupid and unable to learn this ASObjC stuff, haha. Last month I found an old ASObjC table example dated 2009 that I had downloaded from years ago that was written by you. TL DR: I switched to Xojo last month and haven’t looked back at ASObjC. Just be aware that you won’t be converting your UI – you’ll be rebuilding it (unless you can find an old Mac). My app’s main window, toolbar and preferences dialog:Īs long as you’re aware of the limitations, sure. I was able to do everything on my list in Studio using Apple’s excellent reference and sample code which seems to be nonexistent for ASOC. In ASOC I’ve figured out (using others’ tutorials here and on YouTube) how to get/set text in a text field and respond to button clicks, but beyond that I’m lost. Respond to drag and drop event: image dropped on an image well.Enable/disable push buttons and menu items.Start/stop and display/hide progress bars and spinners.Display and close panels and drawers attached to a window.Delete all items from a popup menu, add items to a popup menu from a list of strings, respond to popup selection change.Make a new data source, attach it to a multi-column sortable table, populate the data source with a list of records, respond to row selection changes and double-clicks.Create a toolbar, attach it to a window, add items, specify default items, respond to clicks on toolbar items.Things I’m doing in Studio that I cannot figure out or don’t know where to start with ASOC: I’m thinking about updating one of my 20 year old AppleScript Studio apps and need to learn the basics beyond the simple Xcode ASOC tutorials I’ve found on YouTube. I bought “Everyday AppleScriptObjC”, but it doesn’t contain the tutorials and sample projects I’m looking for. I’m trying to find where I can buy a copy of “AppleScriptObjC Explored”.
