Hi all,

Just curious where I might find some info on getting an AppleScript to launch in response to a system GUI event, like the opening of a window.

Thanks!

The finder does not provide callback functions like this, and AppleScript is not generally the sort of language you would want to use callbacks in. You would have to use a haxie to expose this behavior.

Short answer: you can't.

If this is for Finder windows, it can be accomplished with folder actions.

Hmm...

I was hoping to do something like this:

when safari opens a window, is it a password prompt window?
if so, fill the dialog with the appropriate values and press OK

I got all excited thinking about how easy this could be with applescript, and that nothing like this would be possible w/out considerable pain on the PC platform... ah well.
