[jawsscripts] Re: DLGSelectItemInList multi letter navigation

Pass the default through at the end of the local script's KeyPressedEvent.
For example...
Void Function KeyPressedEvent (int nKey, string strKeyName, int 
nIsBrailleKey, int nIsScriptKey)

 ; This is the local KeyPressedEvent function...

 ; Put code here for the local script set.



 ; Now, call default KeyPressedEvent before ending the function...

KeyPressedEvent (nKey, strKeyName, nIsBrailleKey, nIsScriptKey)

EndFunction


Thanks,
Dennis Brown
