[jawsscripts] Re: Writing a new event script

Hi all,
Forgive me if my questions are stupid and completely off point, but I'm
working with a new application that I need to write a script for. 
This application is a telemarketing type application, and as such, when a
new call comes in the first name field is immediately populated. What I want
to do is tell jaws when a new event happens in this particular edit field
automatically say or move focus to this field.  Could this be done with a
frame or even maybe hotspot clicker, or should I attempted to write a script
for this. 
Could someone get me started as to where I should start?
I appreciate any pointers whatsoever!

Hi Gary:

I do not have this program so I do not know how much help I can
provide.  However, If you answer these questions I may be able to help a
little.

1.  Where did you get this program from?  I did a google search on it
and saw all sorts of similarly named programs and did not want to risk
looking at the wrong one.

2.  What is the name of the executable that is spoken when you press
insert+q when the application has focus?
I noticed the following entry in the confignames.ini.
TaxAct06=TaxAct 2006

I suspect that the executable for this version may be TaxAct08

If so, you could add an entry to confignames.ini as follows:
TaxAct08=TaxAct 2006

Judging from what I am seeing in the configuration files, It may be
difficult to get this working again if they have made significant
changes to the interface.

Is anyone planning to modify previous TaxAct scripts to work with
TaxAct 
2008?  In the past, simple modifications to the various script and 
associated files made previous versions of TaxAct scripts work with the

current version of the program, but this year, 2nd Story Software seems
to 
have made changes to the program that prevents JFW from speaking the 
controls.  I have used TaxAct for 10 years and hate to abandon it. 
Importing data from the previous year makes it easy to get started on
this 
year's taxes; at least it would, if the buttons and checkboxes would
speak.
