[jawsscripts] Re: KeyPressedEvent Question

Are you sure Jaws isn't reading the item, but your typing steps on the 
speech?
For example, when you type, the typing interrupt flag silences Jaws when a 
key is typed.  Could your typing be silencing Jaws on the incremental 
search?
Lets say I have a list named "Rock: Classic"
and when I type the R, then the O, Jaws went to the item with the press of 
the R, but my typing the O silenced Jaws trying to announce the new item.
Could this be the problem?  If so, then there is a different approach needed 
to fix your problem, one in which you can toggle typing interrupt flag when 
in that list.
You really want to stay away from an event-based solution when that event is 
triggered so frequently in all situations, like KeyPressedEvent, or 
NewTextEvent, and restrict it to specific-based events like 
ObjectChangedEvent, or ActiveItemChangedEvent, or something that is more 
specific and non-global.

Does this make sense before we proceed?


Thanks,
