then it could be either JAWS doesn't know it is a list and you can go to the 
list and reassign the window class.
Hit jaws key + f2 then go to Window class reassign and hit enter.
Set the window type to list view.

Or it could be they use a different highlight color which JAWS isn't 
folowing. Set this up in custom highlight assign which is also there when 
you hit jaws key |+ f2.
You can tell it to use the text color, background color or both as the 
highlight.

be

| some checkmarks are graphics but are smaller than the graphics has set to

|| Hi folks,
|| Speaking of checkboxes, it'd be really nice if JAWS could show the
| checkboxes when Malwarebytes Anti-Malware finds stuff.  I had an issue 
last
| week where I was trying to scan, then my friend (also blind), decided to 
see
|
| if he could have better luck with it.  As a result of him not being able 
to
| see the file that Malwarebytes had found and being able to know if it was
| selected for removal or not, he accidentally demolished one of the
| accessible games we like to play because some Malware scanners flag its
| files as Trojans.  And never mind the check boxes on that, I can't even 
read
|
| it's listings unless the JAWS cursor is selected, and even that does not
| give adequate information.  Since I know a little of the JAWS scripting
| language, what tactic would be best to get JAWS to read all of the 
controls
| and lists correctly without the use of the JAWS cursor? By the way, I have
| contacted Malwarebytes corporation on this multiple times, and it looks 
like
|
| they don't give two dangs about
||  it.  Any input would be great.  And so that you know what I've done so
| far, I've already put in to the script two include statements: Include
| "HJConst.jsh", and include "HJGlobal.JSH".  That has yielded no results.
||
|| Thanks and regards,
|| Katherine

||
|| Is Jaws recognizing the control as a checkbox?
|| If not, You can try to reclassify the control with the window
|| reclassification assignment functionality.
||
|| You should take a look at this using the jaws homerow functionality to
|| see if the name or type of control is being reported.  Also try looking
|| at the MSAA properties using the f9 and f10 keys.  You should find a
|| section in the basics of scripting manual which discusses the homerow
|| mode and how to use it.
|| This topic can be found in the book called Windows program structure.
|| There is also a topic on reassigning window classes.
||
|| If you are using Jaws 11, the keystrokes for activating homerow mode
|| have changed.  if you are using Jaws 11, the new key assignment is:
|| JawsKey+control+- on the number pad.  for earlier versions of jaws, use
|| JawsKey+space.

||
|| Hi,
||
|| JAWS is not reading the checkbox objects at all. Neither the lable, nor
|| the

|| Please help me how that can be achieved.
