[jawsscripts] Re: Clicking a link in a program that uses Internet explorer

Pranav,
Why not write a simple script to combine the two actions you described? There are JAWS script functions RouteJAWSToPC() and LeftMouseButton(). You would have to include the latter function twice, possibly with a Pause() in between. As long as you started with the PC cursor on the link of interest, you would then only have to press one hot key to activate it.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Clicking a link in a program that uses Internet explorer 



Hi all,
I am trying to write scripts for a program called ultimate vocabulary. You 
can get a trial version of this programme from www.ultimatevocabulary.com.

The programme uses Internet Explorer.  A significant number of its options
are rendered as links. However, something nonstandard is being done to them such that even if I press enter on those links, they do not get clicked. I 
have to use the JAWS cursor to click those links.  I was trying to find a
way to click these links via jaws scripts.  I came across the
ClickObjectByName procedure which may do what I want.  However, this
procedure requires a window handle which changes for every application
session. So, how do I click these links?
For example, there is a link called "Word Test". As of now, I have to click 
it by:
1. Root the jaws cursor to the pc cursor.

2. Double click on that link.

I have tried using Jamal Mazrui's windig utility to make some sense of the
program screen. I got a host of window handles and MSAA objects. Many of the 
MSAA objects are clickable. What do I do next?

Pranav
