How to pull data regularly from another addin?

Question

need make a addin that can query data from another addin(premade with ui to extract data and don’t have access to script) that is connected to a database.

Is there a workaround?

Pls help

Most likely someone has done this before and also knows how to but not for the addin you have. If the add-in is using modal window, then it will be much more difficult or impossible (not 100% sure if you could bypass modality). Below is very simple example

Names Default To Here(1);
New Window("Example",
	rb = Radio Box({"single", "double", "triple"}, Show(rb << Get()))
);

wait(2); // for demo purposes

wref = Window("Example");
wref[RadioBox(1)] << Set(2, Run Script(0));

Also what do you mean by this "...and don’t have access to script"? is the add-in script encrypted?

the premade addin you need to enter the dates, has radio buttons that need to be selected and then query data, how do I use jsl to preselect this and then allow modifications?

Depends on the addin you are trying to utilize. You might be for example be able to launch the add-in using JSL, get a reference to the UI and press the button to run the query.
