[jawsscripts] Re: Using an counter variable in an If Loop

Hi Logan,

- depending on how the app behaves, it may be better to always set the 
cursor to the non dynamic position following the closing of the input box, 
then use the if statements to determine where to set it next, as it will 
then always be moving from the non dynamic position.

- this way the Count variable may not be required at all...

Perhaps something like this:

InputBox ("Where To?: ", "Navigation Box", sFindThis )
Pause () ; time for the InputBox to close, & the screen to settle
MoveTo (1, 1)
LeftMouse ()
;moves away from the dynamic area and performs a left click
Pause ()
; now the if statements...
If sFindThis = "Coy"  Then
MoveTo (683, 387)
...

Regards,
Paul from Aust

Subject: [jawsscripts] Using an counter variable in an If Loop


Hi,
I'm creating a script which has a nested If statement.
 When the script fires it offers the user an input box ..the inputted 
string becomes  a stored variable  that  then actions other user defined 
functions or moves to a location on the current page.

This input box will be used by the person to get to a number of 
locations...so may be used  a number of times within the same 
window/session.

The locations on the same page are dynamic fields that I have identified and 
have got the required cursor  moving to...however once one of these fields 
has been clicked on and activated the mouse must be clicked out of the 
dynamic area before being moved to another of these fields.

My solution  has been to create an int variable that acts as a counter for 
the script; the script can check if it has been actioned before by looking 
at the counter value and if it hasn't it can move directly to  one of the 
dynamic fields..but if the value is not nul or 0 it would then perform the 
click out of the area action before going on with the move to command.

My question is:

How do I make the Int counter work so that I can use it as a variable to 
check ?


The first If statement of my script  currently reads like this:
var
String sFindThis,
Int iCount

; String is the variable to search on from the input box
; Int is a counter for the If Statement

InputBox ("Where To?: ", "Navigation Box", sFindThis )
; Displays a dialogue box for user to enter a location
; Can be actioned in any of the areas worked in if required

If sFindThis = "Coy" && iCount = 0 Then
MoveTo (683, 387)
LeftMouse ()
; Moves to and clicks on the Coy No field
Let iCount =1
; Makes the counter 1

Will this statement work if it is followed by an ElIf statement such as:

If sFindThis = "Coy" && iCount =! 0 Then
MoveTo (1, 1)
LeftMouse ()
;moves away from the dynamic area and performs a left click
Pause ()
MoveTo (683, 387)
LeftMouse ()
; Moves to and clicks on the Coy No field


There are a number of these fields that the user might want to  activate one 
after another so if this won't work, does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers


Logan
