[QUOTE="Mark FX, post: 1492892, member: 211556"] The problem you have is that the text returned by the NSTextField is of a class called NSCFString, this needs to be converted into an Applescript text class like this. [CODE] on test_(sender) set theText to sender's stringValue() as text --see here if theText is equal to "Hello World" display dialog theText end if end test_ [/CODE] See how i've converted the senders stringvalue() into type Applescript text I mostly work in the Objective C language, so dont do much Applescript these days, so you have to make sure that you convert into a class that Applescript understands, to check the class of an object do this. [CODE] on test_(sender) log class of sender's stringValue() end test_ [/CODE] That should do you. Regards mark [/QUOTE]
