          Hi.
  using jaws 10.0. 512.
  and for my applications, tabbing through the controls, and say for one of my 
examples, have the text boxes tab stop set to false, and then this is the 
problem, jaws cannot read some of the text boxes, as the window is covering it, 
and then also the grafphic , above the main window or in the main window.
  and the title, and did maximize it, but it is still not reading fine.
  the only way to get round this, was for one of my examples was to not set the 
tab stop to false on my controls. when using group boxes.
  and this might fix the problem, but still reading using the pc to route jaws 
cursur, still does not read all of the information correctly.
  and also, in the code editor, tried reclassing the windows classes to multi 
line edit, and when i type, i do not hear the word or the . just not even 
blank, and only when i hit the enter key, do i hear what is typed on the screen 
with visual basic express 2005, never had this problem with visual basic 2008.
  now i am using visual basic 2005 express with sp1. for windows vista home 
premium.
  can you get your developers to see if they can replicate this problem, or 
maybe do a jaws tandem session, then they can see what i mean, and some of my 
projects are still in 2008 format, and as i uninstalled 2008 and only got 2005, 
long story.
  now, they will have to have both version of vb on their systems.
  cheers Marvin.

    Thank you for contacting Freedom Scientific Technical Support.  In order to 
determine the best way to address the problem that you are having when reading 
a Visual Basic .net application with the JAWS® for Windows® screen reading 
software, we need to know exactly what version of JAWS you are using.  We would 
also need to know if the controls you mentioned are reading as you tab through 
the controls, etc.  Please supply some additional information   in these areas. 
 


    If you have any additional questions regarding this or any other issue, 
please don't hesitate to contact us.

    Hi.

    when i run a vb dot net application and try to route the jaws to pc

    cursur, 

    and try to read the information, the windows is either covered, or not 

    reading all the information, like text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons,


    etc.

    and i have to use the insert b key to hear the information, and the 

    application i created.

    can you fix this problem with jaws?

    am using visual basic dot net 2005 express, with the vs scripts,

    updated, 

    windows vista home premium.

    cheers Marvin.
