Hey Denis,
Neither ActiveItemChangedEvent or ValueChangedEvent fire on up arrow or
downarrow.

Hi,
Add a SayInteger(99) to ActiveItemChangedEvent, and a SayInteger(88) to
ValueChangedEvent and see which fires when the down arrow is pressed in that
list.
This may allow you to filter down the amount of speech while navigating the
list, even if it doesn't reset focus.
Also, don't forget the focused rectangle functions, and the
lvGetFocusedItem, and other lv-related functions.
When apps have a single control id, handle, and class, then you may need to
use events to do the text rendering.
For example, the Messenger apps are like this--where GetFocus and such are
sometimes useless because it refers to the entire application window, and
events tend to be the best approach on determining which data to announce.
One of the first things I do is go into HomeRow (Insert+Space), then hit
Alt+F9 to get a list of objects (if any), and try to use those with the
GetObjectInfoByName to retrieve the object's value, rather than
NewTextEvent/SayHighlightedText route.
Thanks,
Dennis Brown
