I'm forwarding this message from another list since it may be of interest here. Basically, the current scripts for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 have been found not to work with VS 2010 (now in public beta). If anyone is interested in taking over the script project, let me know.

I do almost all my coding in EdSharp now, and it would be best for the scripts to be improved by someone actually using VS on a regular basis, especially someone wanting to use the full VS 2010 version. With regard to the VS object model, my guess is that it has been extended for VS 2010, but almost all existing objects and members work as before. That is a "law of COM" -- such interfaces are never supposed to be changed, since this would break applications that rely on the published object model. I think reference material on the VS object model is all available via MSDN. With regard to UIA, JAWS 11 has internally improved support for this API, but there is almost nothing documented by FS in terms of enhancements to the JAWS scripting language to use UIA. There still may be much useful information that can be acquired by MSAA constructs of the scripting language. It would require trial and error, unfortunately. A script I developed called Script Template may be useful for anyone who wants to discover what JAWS events are being fired when in VS 2010. It is available at http://EmpowermentZone.com/ScriptTemplate.zip The archive contains documentation. Basically, one can turn on a debug mode in which every JAWS event is announced. One can then fill in event handlers for events that seem to make the most difference for accessibility. I'd be happy to answer particular questions about the existing JAWS scripts for anyone interested in working on a script set for VS 2010. As a reminder, the current scripts are available at http://EmpowermentZone.com/msenv2005.exe or http://EmpowermentZone.com/msenv2005.zip Jamal ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:program-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** program-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:program-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** program-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ Visit and contribute to The JAWS Script Repository http://jawsscripts.com View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts
