or, alternatively, if this all fails, use HotSpotClicker DEan to bring quick and ready access to these Same ICon tools! http://www.hotSpoitClicker.org after all, that was the initial driving force behind my intention to have it developed to what it is today! and jim's done just an amazing job with this puppy! in my view anywayz. one day, whenever I get around to it, 2 years and it hasn't happened yet, grrr, I am going to build an audio and textual quickstart for non-scripter newbies, which doesn't exist yet, at least, not one by me, Jim and Vic have both done versions of one though I believe, but, man in my view, hsc would get you out of trouble heaps easiest, if you have no MSAA object separation for the icons as dennis has exhorted you to check for below. How continually reliable this solution would be, would in part depend on: A.) whether each graphical icon has it's own separate window that it exists in; and whether each of these tools/windows thus has it's own trackable attributes, like control ID, or WindowName etc, or, B. whether all the tools Live inside their own one ToolBar window, where they cannot be dragged around or moved independently; such that if one moves, they all move. in which case you'd set your hotSpot positioning mode to Current window, rather than it's default of application window, for maximum reliability, if they did move often. or, C. how often they might get moved around by other things happening in the program, based on their relative positions to the application window boarder. if they don't move at all, you could just safely choose, "application window," as the positioning mode/relative boarder against which the hotspots were measured. you'd of course define each as a separately labellable hotSpot, once you knew the purpose of each same Icon tool. BTW this is very, very common in many applications these days. which is why hsc is sooooo groovy! BTW dennis, for my own knowledge, I'd be very keen to have you resite the next part of this story for us all, as to how one might go about scripting this kind of sitch up from the back end, as it were, if these same icons end up Having, separately determineable MSAA names/attributes? some example code of how one might best suss that? Because, without absolutely checking on this to be sure, but although hsc I believe does monitor the ObjectName as part of it's snapshot when defining each hotspot, I am unsure as to it's present capabilities regarding direct MSAA object attributes as settable criteria for trackability, when activating the spot. and, obviously, it'd be rather nice to have this option as an additional built in location criteria tool. plus, I'd very much like to know how one might go about scripting up manually, access to this kind of sitch anyway. i.e. code to crawl through current window looking for the uniquely determined MSAA object attribute etc. feel like spilling on that one? I'm sure you do. he he. thanks. geoff c. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Brown" <DennisTBrown@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 8:22 AM Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Same Icon > Do the graphics have MSAA data?
