Hello,
Is it possible they changed the video intercept handling in JAWS 11 for the
new interface elements? Would this not also impact on previously-installed
versions of JFW?
Sean.

AutomationProperties.HelpText property value
Sorry.
WPF (windows presentation foundation) is microsofts new user interface
technology/protocol, that's apparently soon to be used in most parts of
their newer stuff, and I've also been trying it out/testing development
therein myself using visual studio.net 2008 (VS.Net 2008), and trying to see
if I can get jaws to work well enough with it to allow me to test my
applications etc. etc.
This is what the User Interface Automation that's now supposed to be being
put into jaws 11 should be targeting as well, and that's why was talking
about using functions that have been around in jaws scripting from before,
but which seem to work a bit better/differently now in jaws 11.
Another problem haven't mentioned yet though is that since started trying
out jaws 11.0.611 beta this morning, it's actually interfering with other
scripting we already made use of in VS.Net - I think so anyway - and seems
to also be making earlier version of jaws 10 react incorrectly even though
tried cleaning up that version of jaws with a clean install, but the moment
had tested jaws 11 again, it wouldn't do what was meant to in the VS.Net
development environment, almost as if jaws 11 was making changes to/adding
onto the prior versions interface handling or something.
Have just uninstalled it, and will see if version 10 now works again
properly, might try out 11.0.534 again since don't think it was causing any
hassles, and will be logging this on the beta test page.
Stay well

dar jacob.
man would you care to do a reread, then a quick doubletake/repost of what
you were attempting to convey below? I'm kinda having some trouble sorting
it exactly? <grin.>
of course it doesn't help that I don't know what WPF is exactly as yet, but
... still, sounds like it might've perhaps been related to some other thread
that I've somehow missed picking up on or something?
could you reenlighten us a tad?
thanks.

10 as well, but now in jaws 11, the GetObjectHelp() function does in fact
return the new control/object attribute from within WPF that they all seemed
to think it would be making use of since started looking at any
accessibility guidelines for WPF etc. This is the
AutomationProperties.HelpText attribute/property for the controls, and it's
contents can also be databound as such, so you could to a certain extent
control the rendered content dynamically as such.
