Hi,
I've no idea how this code works so wouldn't know how to translate it to my
specific problem. How do I know where the listbox is in relation to the
static text? How can I get the text from all six controls? That kind of
thing.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Damien.

Well, NVDA sees the text spanning over what it seems to think are six
separate objects. If you look at the dialog though, it seems that the
information spans several lines (I.E. uses \n).
If you're speaking in visual terms, it's completely impossible to tell
what approach the dialog uses behind the scenes just from looking at it.
With a good design, a single static text box using \n-delimited text
will look exactly the same as six static text boxes stacked on top of
each other. What matters to you as an add-on developer is how it looks
to NVDA. If NVDA thinks there are six separate controls, you have to
work with six separate controls.
