[nvda] Re: possible solution to inaccessible menus

Hi John,

I have never heard of the rectangle property before.
What it sounds like is its using MSAA's location property to work out where on the screen the object is, and then use the video intercept to find the text at that point on the screen.
Are you able to give us a little more info on this property (as in where you found it, and what parameters it takes etc)? 

Thanks
Mick

Subject: [nvda] possible solution to inaccessible menus
May have a solution to NVDA not speaking the menus in Skype before 3.0. There is something in MSAA properties called rectangles. For the Skype menus, as far as I know Jaws is able to pull the information it needs from the MSAA rectangle property. The rest of the MSAA info is showing as blank but the rectangle property has the text from the menu item written in it. Hope this bit of info can help.
