Everything that is in a global variable stays around until JAWS restarts. If
you have several things to keep track of, you could keep them in an array or
dictionary and clean the array on AutoStopEvent.
Also, for this reason, I generally put the Application Name as part of the
Global so that other scripts will not mess with my variables that are global to
the terminal emulator.
global dictionary ReflectionTerminalProperties … Though of course if more than
one window is open from your terminal emulator, then you will need to consider
what happens when switching between the two emulators.
Best wishes,

It has been a while since I did this. I have scripting code that reads table
headings in a terminal emulator similar to the Jaws excel table title
feature. My script speaks the heading title for each column in a table data
row. Everything is hard coded as Constants; what terminal page the table is
on, the heading row, the heading names, their column start and end, etcetera.
I simplified this code by storing heading text in a segmented string
constant. I dynamically parse a table heading row based on this segmented
string and allocate a collection of nodes that stores each column heading
name, row pixel start, and row pixel end. I prototyped the emulator table in
Notepad and it appears to work. My question is the persistence of this
allocated data. I have not tried transitions yet. If I alt tab to another
app then come back I assume my scripts reload and all my globals reinitialize
and all my allocated data is gone. This would not be a problem to me as I
can rec
reate the data. My questions are: Does leaving my app using alt tab unload
my scripts or does this just happen when I close the app? If so, is all my
allocated memory freed properly?Paul Bonarrigo
