How to script button clicks from a JMPQuery prompt

Question

I would like to automate the updating of a control chart dashboard. When the dashboard file opens there are two prompts frm the JMPQuery that I can close with simple clicks on the OK buttons on both prompts one after the other. Can you point me to information on how I go about scripting these button clicks?

Thank you!

It sounds like you're using the query builder?  If so, I've had limited success with post query script.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
obj = New SQL Query(
	Connection( "ODBC:DSN=SampleDSN;" ),
	Custom SQL( "SELECT c1, c2, c3 FROM my_table;" )
);
obj << Post Query Script(
	"show( queryResult << Get As Matrix );"
);

Definitely check it out in the scripting index though.

Both the Clicking capability and the determination of how to identify which objects you need to click on are covered in the Scripting Guide
     Help==>Books==>Scripting Guide

Look for the Click() function and the section in the guide on Display Trees
