Oh, maybe that will help to navigate the jungle that is VB 2005 Express. I know one would pull your hair out trying to follow the old 03 stuff from the former blindprogramming site, where I kind of got some interest, went to school for unrelated stuff, and fastforward to now that that didn't get me anywhere, time to consider picking back up again. All I ever got to learn then was making a menu bar that did nothing, until I thought of VB script, the language in the back corner of windows you can cobble together in Textpad and tutorials found on google.

Hi Jim: Actually, I'm not sure. Inthane or one of the guys have it I think. It is a short set of tutorials I wrote for one particular programmer but I saved them in case they would help others. They are not complete and I actually had to help him understand concepts like horizontal and vertical outside of the tutorials but I still have them. I will send them in my next post as a group of attachments if anyone wants them as they now stand. I will use this subject line and attach them in my next post in a few minutes.Rick USA----- Original Message ----- From: "Homme, James" <james.homme@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 7:06 AM Subject: RE: urgent: help required, vs.net 2008 Hi Rick, Where is your tutorial?

As for VS 2008 accessibility, it is almost identical to VS 2005 from an accessibility standpoint. I use Windoweyes and have found work-arounds for anything that was not particularly accessible under that IDE. Like VS 2005it depends on the settings in the Options Menu Tree under the Tools menu barthat determine how the IDE will act with a screen reader. If you are familiar with 2005 you should have no problems with 2008 in my opinion. I can not speek to the JAWS scripts since I do not use them.Working in VB.net, VWD and Sql Server are what I do mostely and use most ofthe built-in UI controls, Data and Formatting Wizards and even some of the Designers with no problems.I have used the various Tool Bar controls in VB.net, mentioned in the other post, The Table Designer for my Databases and advanced XSD and Configurationprocessing, and, well if you have other questions just ask since there are over 1,000 diferent windows and what not in the IDE providing many, many development functions.

I know that when I was in a training program for the blind, this computer guy thought it might be fun, and he was kind of right, to play with that old tutorial on making a menu bar, maybe it did one other little thing, but things aren't at all the same any more trying to follow any of that old stuff. I tried following it with 05 express since I didn't have 2003 like that school did, not only did the scripts not work real well, everything's different about it. Is this a good language to start with, assuming I don't really want to deal with bogging my machine down with virtual machines and Orca with crappy sound that locks up in them a lot? I never got the whole pixel coordinate thing how much space each thing takes up, maybe there's an automatic mode by now? Finally, will I mess up my system uninstalling 2005 and grabbing 08? ----- Original Message ----- From: "sameer manohtra" <sameermanohtra@xxxxxxxxx> To: "programmingblind" <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 8:26 PM Subject: urgent: help required, vs.net 2008hey everyone, writing here after long, hope you all are in great wellbeings. folks, due to some reasons, i'd have to upgrade to vs.net 2008 now. i have been successfully working with c# and vb.net 2005, but due to some compulsions i'd have to switch it to vs.net 2008. i have never worked with it before, those who have worked, are requested to kindly guide me, if it is accessible or not? can i independently work on it like 2005? what are the things which are different in terms of accessibility? do we have any jaws script for the vs.net 2008? whatever else that one should take care while switching it, and working with vs.net 2008. kindly tell me, i'll be greatful. an early response is highly appreciated, kindly help this novis. sameer manohtra. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblindThis e-mail and any attachments to it are confidential and are intended solely for use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
