Hi,
I'm attempting to write scripts for K-chess elite. I want JAWS to identify and
be able to read four windows either automatically or with a key press. I want
to toggle which window it reads automatically. I want to get it to read any
combination of the windows automatically. I have the following situation.
* When the program opens or I Alt Tab to it, I can always count on focus
landing in the same window.
* The window I land in isn't one of the ones I want to read.
* The other windows are all read only edit windows.
* When the program first runs, the handle for each window is unique.
* The control I D for each window is the same as its handle, so I can't count
on using the control I D to identify any of the windows.
* I can always press the Tab key to get to the windows and I can always count
on being able to press Tab x number of times to get focus to go into one of the
windows.
* I can always read the windows manually with the cursor if I want to.
* I'd rather not have to simulate tab presses to find and read a window either
automatically or manually.
* I think that two of the windows will always have the same line of text at the
top.
* None of the windows is a real window.
* I should have no trouble making the code to work for the verbosity tree part
of this.
* I should be fine for the keyboard help part of it too.
Any ideas about identifying and finding the windows to read other than
simulating tab presses?
Thanks.
Jim
