hmmm, well, Frames can't work like that stephen as far as I know. the fact that noone else has responded yet either, suggests that perhaps others believe so as well? What you'd want would be some other more complex scripty way to do that I reckon. and then whatever you did would probably have to have something added to the default script set, since it sounds like you want it to work when that application hasn't got focus. And that's of course not the way the app-based scripts usually work. at least as far as I'm aware. But I'm no real scripter by a long shot, but perhaps my ponderings might bring others out of the woodwork with suggestions, as to how one would even begin to go about coding such a function. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Hicks (HICKSSM)" <Steven.HicksSM@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 12:37 AM Subject: [jawsscripts] Scripts Running In the Background > Hi friends, > It would be absolutely fantastick if I could write a script which will achieve the following? > > I have an application that runs where it displays the number of people in a telephone queue. > when this number changes, a frame is triggered and the number of people in the call is spoken by JAWS. > If this number goes above 5, it will also give me a text and beep alert. > > My problem is, the fram only triggers when this application is in the forground. when it is minimised, the frame stops working. > Is there any way that I could keep the frame triggering and giving me feedback when the application is in the background please?
