[jawsscripts] Re: Enter braille patterns into App

You get one KeyPressedEvent call each time the user presses and
releases a key or set of keys.  You do not, as a scripter, get
notified each time each key goes down and comes up on a Braille
display.  You can script key combinations, and JAWS already comes with
such scripting for some, depending on which Braille display you have.
For examples, look in default.jkm under the "[PACMate Braille Keys]"
section.

But I think you're trying to use a Braille display's keyboard as an
input device.  Look at the following JAWS scripting functions for info
on this:  GetTypeKeysMode, SetTypeKeysMode,
BrailleSupportsTypeKeysMode.  I don't know if any Braille displays
other than those sold by Freedom Scientific support this type of
operation though.  The FS documentation seems to indicate not.

Not sure this helps, but I hope so.

Hi,

I'm writing a program which should receive braille patterns. The user
shall enter braille with the braille keys on the braille display.

I don't know how to do this. There are the functions KeyPressedEvent and
GetKeyState, but I don't know how to find out when the braille keys are
all released again.

Can anyone give me a hint, or tell me where to find example scripts? How
is the braille keyboard usually supported? What are the scripting
techniques usually used for this?

Many thanks for your help, Thomas Marquardt
