Hi Jim My script is below: var handle hwnd Let hwnd = GetAppMainWindow (GetFocus()) if (FindGraphic (hwnd, "Next Record", S_TOP, S_UNRESTRICTED)) THEN SayString ("it worked") LeftMousebutton() else SayString ("not so lucky") endif EndScript I have done some further testing and when the script doesn't work, the first co-ordinate when using alt+del to find the cursor is less than the value when it does work so I am thinking that the cursor is outside of the window or application where it needs to be. I can also move the cursor in the script manually which should work fine but I would be interested in anything that you can tweek the script with to automate it? I am really grateful for all your help and please excuse my ignorance, I am not advanced in scripting to say the least. This sounds like a simple script but it saves so much time when using the application to navigate around my work list. If the application had written in their own shortcut key, it would be much easier but there is no way to customise this, I have checked. -----Original Message----- From: jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Snowbarger Sent: 22 May 2013 03:09 To: jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Scripting A Labeled Graphic 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES)" <steven.hicks@xxxxxxx> To: <jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 5:10 AM Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Scripting A Labeled Graphic 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. -----Original Message----- From: jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Snowbarger Sent: 21 May 2013 02:22 To: jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Scripting A Labeled Graphic 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 HTH ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES)" <steven.hicks@xxxxxxx> To: <jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 20, 2013 2:03 AM Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Scripting A Labeled Graphic 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? -----Original Message----- From: jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Snowbarger Sent: 19 May 2013 03:47 To: jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Scripting A Labeled Graphic 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES)" <steven.hicks@xxxxxxx> To: <jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 17, 2013 3:49 AM Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Scripting A Labeled Graphic Hi, My script is below but for some reason, it doesn't appear to do anything, does anyone have any suggestions please?

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. ******************************************************************************************************************** This message may contain confidential information.
