Depends on how you are getting that handle. What did you settle on?
If you use GetCurrentWindow then, the handle you get depends on where the
active cursor is located when you run the script.
Most folks on this list would probably gag and the lack of elegance of it.
But, combining your scripts so your cursor first moves to a fixed set of
screen coordinates, then doing GetCurrentWindow to get the handle, then
searching that handle for the graphic, might work just fine for you. That
approach is less stable, prone to breakage as things move around.
Personally, I would try the
GetAppMainWindow (GetFocus() approach.
Don't forget to say S_UNRESTRICTED so the search will include all child
windows.

Hi,
Thanks to everyone's help, I am almost there now.
Just something that seems quite simplet that I need to try to resolve if
anyone can help further.
Basically I have a script already that manually moves the JAWS cursor to the
labelled graphic, this just moves to the screen location.
If I use this script first then subsequent executions of my new script work
but the first time, the new script doesn't work.
Could the focus be outside of the window that I am trying to search
initially until I use the old manual script to place it there?
Does anyone know how I may be able to rectify this?
I would like to use the new script eventually to replace the old manual one
so that if the labelled graphic actually moves or you change the screen
resolution, it should still work if that makes sense?
Thanks again for all your help.

Yes, that is one approach.
Or, if the application main window, and all of it's chilcren is what you
want to search, you might say something like
var
handle hwnd
Let hwnd = GetAppMainWindow (GetFocus()) if (FindGraphic (hwnd, "my Graphic
name", S_TOP, S_UNRESTRICTED)) THEN
SayString ("it worked")
else
SayString ("not so lucky")
endif

So I would set up a script with a int and then call get current window and
use that in my findgraphic statement replacing the int for the window
number?

Stephen, the first parameter to FindGraphic in your script is set to 1,
which is almost certainly not a valid window handle. Even if it were,
window handles typically change all the time. So, you can never count on
them being a particular number.
You can get a handle several different ways, and which way to use depends on
what is convenient in your situation.
If you can get the jaws cursor placed somewhere in that windwo, you can call
GetCurrentWindow.

Try the FindGraphic function.

Hi friends,
I have a button which has had to be a manually labelled graphic, I don't
think that it is a standard control.
Does anyone know if I could write a script to mouse the mouse pointer to
this graphic and check if it is there, if it is, I would like to click the
left mouse button to press it. If it is not there, not bothered for now if
the script just does nothing.
The Button is called Next Record if that helps.
At the moment, I just manually move the JAWS cursor to the location on the
screen, this seems to work quite effictivly unless the screen resolution
changes of course but I am happy with this for now as I have tried to write
a find script to look for the labelled graphic before but coldn't get it to
work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Steve.
