You have to go to the datasources window (alt shift d). Arrow down to the column you want to change the control for and route jaws to pc. right arrow until you hear "blank" 3 times after the end of the column name and then do left mouse button.... -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of inthaneelf Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 2:26 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: change default control used when dragging a table column to a c#win form there may be a "pain in the rear" method for doing what is needed, I remember when I took my access class at the college, there was one item in the forms window, a grey square, that had to be clicked to invoke certain functions, and the jaws I had then didn't have any alternative to do this. what I did was I got a sighted person to sit with me looking at the monitor, and I moved my jaws cursor down the screen so it was in line with the thing, found something around that area that the jaws cursor could "see" a graphic on the screen, then hand arrowed the cursor one point over until my assistant said it was in the square and I could left click it with the number pad mouse key. though slow and a pain, you might be able to get to your "arrow" this way if you know anything about jaws scripting, and/or can find out how to get the positional information of the jaws cursor, someone may be able to add it to scripts with a hot key combo so it is useable.

The only way you can possibly do this is to copy the controls to the clipboard, ensuring that a form is open, and paste the contents, however it'll be in some table layout form. I asked this very question a few months back, so that's how I was told about this "bug". Hope that helps.

The tutorials always say to click the arrow next to the column name and choose detail, but I cant even get that far... any ideas?
