Hi,
I'm scripting for an application called Keynote. The program has more than one
tab strip. I'm only interested in one of them. I want to fake the behavior of
DialogPageChangedEvent. In other words, if I hit Control + tab or Control +
Page Down, or Control + Shift + Tab or Control + Page UP, I want to find the
tab strip I'm interested in and speak the newly selected tab. When the program
gains focus, I want to do the same thing. So far, I've tried to use new text
event to send the invisible cursor to that window and speak the object name,
but I wasn't successful. Maybe that was the wrong approach. Maybe it was the
right approach, but I did something wrong or didn't understand what to do. The
general logic for my code was something like this.
if the window passed to new text event is not the same one focus is in and if
it's a tab control, put the invisible cursor there and speak the object name if
the object state is selected.
Thanks.

I think it would depend on the application and the type of window that
you are looking at. If it is a window that is used in more than one
place or context, then it might follow that the window hierarchy might
be different in each instance. but I think that would depend to a large
extent on how the application was written, and whether or not the
developer was using a modular approach.

Hi,
Can you usually count on a particular window being in the same place in
the hierarchy of application windows?
Thanks.
