GUIScriptingChecker

GUIScriptingChecker is an AppleScript library to check availability of "GUI Scripting". Also if "GUI Scripting" is not enabled, GUIScriptingChecker can guide a user to enable "GUI Scripting" with displaying proper messages.

The default status of "GUI Scripting" is OFF. Therefore availability of "GUI Scripting" should be confirmed at the beginning of the script and a proper guide should be provided if needed.

The GUIScriptingChecker can help to perform such boring routine task with minimum efforts.

use scripting additions

use GUIScriptingChecker : script "GUIScriptingChecker"

if not GUIScriptingChecker's do() then

return

end if

-- Scripts dpended on GUI Scripting --

display alert "GUI Scripting is enabled."
