Hi, No to reading with the virtual cursor and no to reding generally, either. The only way I can get anything out of the control is to use the JAWS cursor or a windowGetText call. Links are underlined so there's clearly some sort of clickable event going on, but I have yet to devise a strategy for extracting just the linked text from the control. Private mail is fine - although it's always good to keep the list up-to-date with findings, I'd imagine.

Try turning on the virtual cursor and seeing whether you can read. 2. can you read with out the virtual cursor? It may be, that we can use com-based interfaces to access the text/formatting/etc from this component. I'm going to obtain the component as it's written in a language I use, so will see what I can come up with. No promises as to when though, as I'm floodded with work. I'll take this further with you off-list if that helps.
