hi doug lee .

sorry answer upon your topic, but I tried send a new message to this list 
with new
topic but the message has not arrived

hi all.
I want to ask a question to the experts scripts for jaws.
guys you can create scripts to jaws interact with the  games visually 
challenged?
such as:
call of duty, point blank, medal of honor, and more.
the question is if you can create scripting  menus to read this kind of 
games first persone shooter.
only to read the menus of the games to be able to play the game without 
needing someone to help us.
or this is just a dream?
someone say  it's possible but I do not believe.
please tell me something.
sorry my bad inglish.
cheers.

It shouldn't be a problem to pass a window handle to a COM method, as
those are just integers, not strings or structures.

Thanks Doug, you're helpful, as always.
I guess you can't share that code as it pertains to SSB BART Group. This
approach seems pretty complex for the little task I want to do, and I found
an alternative solution. In this script I'm also using a com component of an
open source software. I'm gonna add the SendMessage handling to that
software which is written in Python. I'm confident python could handle this,
but I haven't found any relevant examples. Still searching, as Python is not
one of my specialties.
I guess I can pass a window handle to a com component, right?

Years ago, we at what is now SSB BART Group (but what was then
Bartimaeus Group) proved that a DLL can be written to make this sort
of thing possible. The DLL was never released nor used in any project
of which I am aware, but I remember it included COM-callable functions
for allocating and freeing blocks of memory and allowed string passing
via those memory blocks. Structures are trickier because you can't
include a null byte in a JAWS script string value, but I don't
remember whether we addressed that one at the time. I also doubt we
addressed any 32-bit versus 64-bit OS issues. I know of no current
implemented solution, but maybe this is enough information to point
you in the right direction for making one.

Hi,
As I understand it, the built-in SendMessage function doesn???t allow
passing of structures or strings. For one of my projects, I???m required to
pass a structure of type POINTL to a program.
Has anyone found a convenient solution to this? Maybe a com component or
something.
Thanks.
