JAWS, 13 or older, does not provide access to AccessibleChildren() per
se. You may be able to get what you want using .accChildCount and
childIDs; e.g., o.accName(3) for the name of the third object. Also
worth a try is something like o.accChild(3) for the third full object.
Finally, the JAWS functions for enumerating object properties into
text strings might be useful, if tedious and/or slow depending on your
needs.

Hi all,
I'm dealing with a windows-based application which its whole user interface
is one window (hwnd). It's exposing its controls through MSAA as objects.
The challenge it that even though controls are exposed as MSAA objects, the
object navigation method (accNavigate) has not been implemented at all. This
prevents me from scraping controls starting from the main and only window
handle.
Windows API (oleacc.dll), has an "AccessibleChildren" function which
enumerates all children of an object and returns an object array. I'm
wondering if JAWS 13 provides access to this function.
I'm also open to any other solution to the above challenge.
Cheers,
Kamil
