[jawsscripts] Re: List View Events

Hi Donald:
To expand a bit on what Jim has suggested, you could use the
setJcfOption function to specify whether the JawsCursor is tethered to
the pc cursor.
If this is turned on, the jawsCursor will follow the pc cursor.  This
might insure that you hear the contents of the tooltip when you move
from item to item in the list.

this entry is stored in the .jcf file of your application.
I took the following lines from my default.jcf file.
; 1=JAWS cursor is tethered to the Pc cursor, i.e.,
; whenever the Pc cursor moves, the JAWS cursor will follow it.
; 0=JAWS cursor is indifferent to Pc cursor movements,
; which has been the traditional behaviour
TetherJAWSToPC=0

therefore, you could use the following line to make the Jaws cursor
follow the pc cursor when the listview gets the focus. 
SetJCFOption (OPT_TETHER_JAWS_TO_PC, 1)
If desirable you could turn this off when you leave the listview. 
for other constants that can be used in the SetJcfOption function refer
to the hjconst.jsh file.  These constants all begin with either Opt_ or
Optbrl_.

with regard to the selecting of list items:
look at the fsdn  document under dialog controls.  there are a number
of items which all begin with lv  Several of these could be useful.

The next thing you will need to do is find out where to place your
alternative functionality and what conditions should apply when using
this code.

I suggest taking a look at the ActiveItemChangedEvent function.
this might be a good place to specify any alternative processing when
moving through a listview.

Hi Donald,
You might need to hit Control+Insert+NumPadMinus when you are using
the
application. You may also be able to make an auto start function that
flips
this setting on and an auto finish function that puts it back the way
it
was once you leave the application.. This setting forces the mouse to
follow the cursor. Maybe this will get the selected item to change.

Thanks.

Jim

I have an application that is very non-standard from a JAWS standpoint.
 I
have a list view that had a unique class name, so I reclassified it as
a
"ListView".  I can now arrow through the list and go to first and last
with
Home and End keys.  However, the first item remains the highlighted
item
(selected item)
How do I assure that the selected item follows my movements?  Is there
an
event that gets triggered when selected item in the list changes?  I
would
like to check if the item's text attribute is bold and announce "new"
before that item.

The items in the list also have a non-standard, two line  ToolTip that
appears when the mouse hovers over the item for several seconds.  Right
now
it only gets activated if I Root JAWS to PC.    I would like to
capture
each of these two lines in separate variables for speaking and later
use.
They  are stored in the "ToolTip" pop up window as two child windows
where
each child contains the line as the window name and the text in the
window.

Additionally, I created the event function listed below to trap these
pop
up windows.  It never seems to be called.  I wrote a similar event
function
that had a MessageBox that worked fine!  Am I doing something wrong?

Void Function ToolTipEvent (handle hWndPopUp, string sMessage)

SayString ("In ToolTipEvent: ")

SayString (sMessage)

SayString ("tooltip window is " + IntToString (hWndPopUp))

Let gsListName = GetWindowText (FindDescendantWindow (hWndPopUp,
WCID_LIST_NAME), False)

Let gsListNumber = GetWindowText (FindDescendantWindow (hWndPopUp,
WCID_LIST_NUMBER), False)



ToolTipEvent (hWndPopUp, sMessage)

Return

EndFunction


I have no idea if the variable assignments work!  I have not gotten
that
far yet.
