    <h1>Problem</h1> <p>From AppleScript, I want to visit the list of all chats in an Adium chat window, looking for a particular chat name, but it doesn't work:</p> <p>Adium's Dictionary includes: [S] Adium > [C] application > [E] chat window</p> <p>What I think I want to do is</p> <pre><code>tell application "System Events" tell application "Adium" to activate repeat with tw in chat windows of process "Adium" repeat with ch in chats of tw if name of ch is "nickserv" then -- do some stuff end if end repeat end repeat end tell </code></pre> <p>But I get "Syntax Error: Expected end of line but found plural class name" at the reference to "chat windows".</p> <h1>Answer (from responses, and further work)</h1> <p>Getting the window list directly from the process, rather than from "System Events" avoids the choke at "plural class name":</p> <pre><code>tell application "System Events" repeat with tw in chat windows of process "Adium" -- is a syntax error: you're not getting an Adium window, it's a SysEvents window tell application "Adium" repeat with tw in chat windows -- works </code></pre> <p>However, the properties of a window (or chat window) as known to "System Events" are very different from those for a window known to Adium. What I'm actually doing is positioning the window on screen. With a System Events window, I do something like this:</p> <pre><code>set position of tw to {440, 1600} set size of tw to {993, 578} </code></pre> <p>... but with a direct Adium window, it's</p> <pre><code>set bounds of tw to {440, 1600, 440+993, 1600+578} </code></pre> <p>Sprinkling "properties tw" about, as more or less hinted in the comments by Lauri Ranta, reveals these differences.</p> <h1>Other Answer</h1> <p>I also found that</p> <pre><code>repeat with tw in (chat windows) of process "Adium" </code></pre> <p>gets past the "multiword element name" issue, though not the "windows have different properties" one.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
