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!
