That's what I was trying to do in the first place, and it still claimed that
the UI elements were unavailable. I'm not sure if this is a jaws thingo or
not. And then the other thing that bothers me is that I cannot see the code
that verifies the presence of the button so that I can put a message box there.
I think the code is" PrivateButton_click. I forget how it exactly works
because that's VS-generated code.

It's pretty easy to put a button on a form graphically even with the limited
scripts Jaws 12 added. So what you do is press enter on the form1.cs or
form1.vb or whatever your c++ file is and it will open a form designer.
Then press control-alt-x and it will bring up a tree view of controls. If you
right arrow it will open the tree. The one weird thing is it seems you have to
arrow up instead of down to get into the tree. Then just arrow up to button or
label or whatever you want on the form and press enter. It will drop you to
the form. You can now arrow left and right to place the left top point of
tyour control where ever you like. Then if you want to
change all the properties for that control you just do alt-enter. I think
alt right arrow also works but not sure.
If you want to jump by more than one point use control and the arrow key when
moving the control. . In our old scripts there were ways of expanding the
control and checking to see if it overlapped but so far I don't know if Jaws
added it or how they added it.

I most certainly will let you know if I find stuff. But maybe then I should
more or less ask a question. Since most of the books I have speak in terms of
moving the mouse pointer, obviously, I'm going to have to get around that
somehow. I'm really curious as to how to work the toolbox in VS2010 and how to
correctly add controls to a form as that is one of the things that FS
emphasized on their web site. What is currently going on is that I have a
project that's a windows form, and when I am pointed at the file named
form1.cs, I click view, click designer, and then press alt-control-X to bring
up the toolbox. What then happens is that every control in the toolbox is
listed as unavailable. I was able to successfully create a simple windows
forms app only once in my lifetime, and it'd be great if I could remember where
I was pointed to get the correct code to be added to the form. So, my issue
may not be a JAWS issue at all, it could just be how to add controls in the
context of screen reader output rather than mouse clicks. Thanks. And to
clarify once more, when I go to add the button, I find the file from the
solution explorer seeing that toolbars are kind of a pain to use.

Katherine, I think that the update is largely concerned with improving the
basic support for things like intellisense and WPF editor. So there's not much
to hunt regarding new features in Jaws for VS2010; you can check whether it
correctly works with editors and intellisense. BTW, I've not tried Jaws 12
though with VS2010. But I'm keen to know how much improvement has been made,
especially regarding:
1) Intellisense: does it speek method description and parameters types/names
(earlier it could speek only method names) as you move between intellisense
suggestions.
2) Anoying loss of focus from editor whenever you enter into an intellisense
suggestion mode. I must have to press alt twice to get me back on editor
regularly which had been very frustrating and physically stressful.
Please let us know your findings.
Thanks!
