[JAWSLite] Re: List of hotkeys in a dialogue box using Jaws

that sounds like the one I was thinking of, though I thought it, or another one gave the hot keys, sigh, may be misremembering though! gads what a mess, frack!
alright, maybe you can make a report to the jaws 9 beta test E mail and they may... be able to do something with it, I donno, but maybe. 

I would as well post the problem to the Microsoft accessibility group at:
enable@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

if enough folks report it it should get a look into if nothing else.

take care and good luck,

Looking through the docs for Jaws, I think the one you are referring to is Jaws key + B, which while it does read the whole dialogue box, doesn't mention those specific buttons/controls I'm talking about every time.
One more thing is that when I now retested this in the Add/remove programs dialogue box, and used the Alt + W hotkey to start that part of the process, while it did in fact put focus on the Add/remove windows components button, when I then used the Shift + numpad 5 key combo to readed me the hotkey, it in fact said something along the lines of 'no hotkey assigned', which is obviously rubbish since the non-existent hotkey just put focus on that button. 

Oh well...
Will have to get some sighted people to help and will start documenting the 'missing' controls or something. LOL! 

Stay well

in add/remove I usually used the jaws cursor to "click the tab" or button whatever it is now, that's one area that MS really did us a disservice!
I think there is a jaws keystroke that reads out the items in a dialog and, I think... gives you the hot keys for them, I don't have my notes for it handy, but I got it out of the overall keystroke listings for jaws in the help menu. just like I found some specialty "mouse over" commands there.

Subject: [JAWSLite] List of hotkeys in a dialogue box using Jaws



Hi there.

A question on my part.
Basically when using certain programs, and a dialogue box pops up for whatever, where I know there certain controls that for some reason don't seem to be in the 'tab list', but which I am relatively certain have Alt + hotkeys assigned to them, I would like to be able to somehow obtain a list of the available hotkey combinations - preferably with the relevant description/label for that control.
A couple of examples are in the 'add/remove programs' dialogue which you get to from the control panel in windows xp. It has a button to allow you to add/remove windows components etc. which is accessed using Alt + W, but which you can't tab to.
The other one that now brought this up in my head is that in MS SQL server 2003, when I want to restore a backup of a database that I got from someone else, once I select the from filegroups or files option, I know there is a button which would allow me to select the relevant backup file(s), but which I can't right now remember the shortcut key for.
Anyway, do any of you guys know of some way to work around/access this sort of thing?
FWIW, am using Jaws 8/9 on a Windows XP Pro machine. Also, for some of these problems, things like NVDA work better since you can 'navigate' from parent-child-sibling object in these situations. 

Thanks in advance
