Re: WindowEyes Getting Script Language

Hi, try "com automation", including quotes. Hope that helps.

Hi JP:
Any suggested readings on very basics of Comm Programming?
I'm having Google mess mixing Comm up with Communications.  Any Keywords, W3c 
Keywords or url's that might help me get started setting up homework?
  Also, if you have any tutorial url's could you let me know?
  I'm trying to find out how to get started by Googling for now.

  Rick,
I agree that this sounds promising. I just finished reading the introduction to Window-Eyes scripting published by GW. Exposing Window-Eyes objects through COM and letting the script writer choose the language they are comfortable with certainly adds some flexibility. Of course it carries the responsibility of being aware of your audience if you are writing scripts you wish to share. I could probably write some nice scripts in ruby or AutoIt (and will probably do so for my own use) but for sharing, I'd want to make sure the script was written in a language such as VBScript or JScript which I could expect anyone to have installed. As for your question about .net managed code, I have written other C# programs which accessed COM objects and the intro from GW says it will be accessible from .net. I think this was a very interesting design approach by GW Micro and will be anxious to see how it pans out. Throwing out a scripting framework which lets one use things like VBA, VBScript, JScript, and so on certainly opens the door for the rapid growth of user written and contributed scripts.

    Hi Gang:
    WindowEyes is getting a Scripting Language, finally!  OK, so they say it 
will use Com Automation and various languages can be used with the default 
language VB Script.
    First, I know some of you are really good with such thingys as Com 
Automation having done accessibility work.  Is there some good starting points 
on learning to write scripts, or they say we can use compiled programs like 
c++, and Com Automation?
    What about the Managed Code of Vb.net?
    I have always used Windoweyes but it needed some fixes in applications like 
Visual Studio and some Internet Controls weren't accessible, oh ya, java script 
sometimes gave it fits.
    I'm kind of excited.
