Screenshot of Complex Sample Showing All Controls

AppleScript Dialog Toolkit
#1

@alldritt put it mildly:

My first concern was to identify and show an example of all Dialog Tooklit controls. The Complex sample.scpt provided by Shane appears to do that.

Here’s my first, small contribution.

I have modified this file to:

  • Set the label text to the name of the control/command.
  • Reformat the script to improve readability
