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

Hi Brian and Dennis,

Many thanks for your posts.  I have now been able to successfully write a
script to click on a link.  I am pasting it below.

Script CustomEnter ()
if GetObjectType ()== ("Link") then 
ClickAtPoint(GetCursorCol(),GetCursorRow(),false)
endif
EndScript

I wasn't able to download the program without giving a whole lot of personal
detail I really did not want to do.  However, you ought to be able to create
a very simple script to do what you want.  When focused upon a link, go into
home row mode with insert and space bar, press F10 until jaws says type,
then press F9.  Hopefully it will say "link".  If so, in your code you could
write
if GetObjectType ()== ("Link") then 

; invoke the jaws cursor, do the cursor routing, and click.  This is
assuming the routing is reliable enough. 

endif

 

Any questions, let me know.

        Hi,
        ClickObjectByName works on MSAA objects, and was written for
instances where 
        you need to click on an object like a tool bar item, etc.
        For instance, I used this when writing the Windows Live
Messenger/MSN 
        Messenger script set, and I wanted a keystroke to move the user to
the 
        History window.  It wouldn't be the best for your situation.
        Just off the top of my head, what about the ClickAtPoint function?
        ClickAtPoint(GetCursorCol(),GetCursorRow(),TRUE)
        The True option tells it to use the JawsCursor.
        Again, this is just off the top of my head.
        
        
        Thanks,
        Dennis Brown
