I hadn't noticed this until this thread either, but a first
FindDescendantWindow parameter of 0 actually seems to work as a means
of scanning the entire window tree for the first matching controlID.

A start handle of 0? That won't work, will it?
Don't you need to have a valid handle of some ancestor?

Subject: [jawsscripts] An interesting scripting problem
I'm scripting an application that has a window that's sometimes there,
sometimes not. The first order of business is to check if the window
is there, and if it is, set focus to it. I know the control ID of the
window, 1019. I'm trying to use FindDescendantWindow with a start
handle of 0 to verify its existence. My script so far looks like this:
Script ReadSearchStatus ()
var handle hwin
let hwin = FindDescendantWindow (0, 1019)
if hwin > 0
then
Say ("search window present.", ot_jaws_message, false)
; Insert code to set focus to the window. Should I even bother
; with this?
; Should I just try setting focus and if it fails, assume the window's
; not present?
else
Say ("search window is not present.", ot_jaws_message, false)
endif
EndScript
The problem is, it always comes up saying the window is present, even
when it's not.
