When the errors window pops up and gets focus for the first time, press alt + W, H to hide the errors window and it will stay hidden for a long time- until you bring it up manually with a compile or debug command. I usually bring up the error window with ctrl+w,e and press alt+w, h first thing when I start editing a file to get rid of this menace. However, as you continue to work with 2010, you will realize that the errors window is perhaps the smallest problem and it is definitely by far not the only one.Some of the problems I continuously run into with both NVDA and jaws 11 and 12 include: - jaws stops reading all the menus and right click pop-ups suddenly for no reason and no amount of screen refresh, jaws restart etc. seem to fix it. The problem is fixed only with a machine restart. - nvda doesn't recognize collapsed regions on the editor window, so, I am forced to expand everything and not use this very useful feature. - both jaws and nvda hang when the first break point or exception is hit while debugging a Silverlight project. The current workaround I have for this is that before hitting f5 for debugging, I turn off jaws with ins+f4 and start nvda. Then press f5 to start debugging that hangs nvda. Now I restart jaws with another shortcut and continue debugging normally. Somehwere during debugging nvda comes back alive and I need to turn it off. Needless to say it is a frustrating cycle but the only one that reliably works for me currently. - sometimes nvda doesn't read the editor text during debugging. - The latest code branch of nvda errors out on starting vs 2010 because of some bug in the new vs 2008 scripts in nvda. - nvda doesn't read the watch and locals windows. - The BIGGEST problem I have: both jaws and nvda develop chatter: read all the hints/highlights that VS is throwing at the developer. So, while typing a plain line of code, I am bombarded with random suggestions of putting ")" ";" "}" etc. and apparently these suggestions blink on the screen, which means that jaws thinks it is new text every time it blinks and keeps reading it. I am on windows 7 64 bit and you may see different behavior on XP and windows 7 32 bit. -Manish -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gomal Tao Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 2:27 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition Hello, I am using vs 2010 with jaws 11. The menus are accessible and also the code editors. The largest problem for me is that the error windows get focus all the time. I have not found out any method to prevent this. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of chris hallsworth Sent: den 7 oktober 2010 10:05 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition Hello all. I have just signed up for Microsoft DreamSpark (www.dreamspark.com), a service for students and former students to access free Microsoft software, from server operating systems to development tools. I see they offer Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition. My question is how accessible is this to the major screen readers, particularly JAWS Window-Eyes and NVDA.
