AppleScript and Windows

[JonL12345]

Is it possible to have AppleScript and Automator control Windows (and its applications)? Or, does AppleScript only integrate with OSX itself?

Thanks,

Jon

AppleScript is OS X only.

So it won't work with Parallels?

No, it won't. AppleScript does not run in Windows.

Ok, was hoping it could send it a few keystrokes or something.

It might be possible to send Parallels keystrokes using GUI scripting. I've done similar things before with other programs to control/manipulate Windows environments.

Try something like

tell app "Parallels" to activate

tell app "System Events"
	tell application process "Parallels"
		-- add keystroke command
		-- add delays, if needed, to allow computer time to process
	end
end
