in the VB 6 Scripts I have and support on the grab bag site.
I can hit control F2 to put myself in the first list and then tab into the
second one, you might be able to find a similar set of keys for jaws in the
help for the list created scripts for 2005/2008, or ask Jamal

able to list available events for controls on the IDE
Hi:
I hope you find a way but I use the Properties window to One method isGo to
the Forms Designer and tab or arrow to your control, Right Mouse click it and
select Properties from the Context Box. Another way is to set focus to the
desired control and under the view tab of the MenuBar you can arrow down to
Properties and hit enter. I think you can do this method from inside the Code
Editor as well but I'm not sure the Events ToolBar button was exposed. Also
there is a hot key you can hit when focus is on your control in the Forms
Designer or your Control is highlighted in the Text Editor if I remember.
However you get to the Properties Page: you can verify you are in the right
control by tabbing around until you get to the table of properties for your
control, arrow up and down to check the name or id of it. Just to the left of
the list of properties, tab left once, is a ToolBar. It will say something like
quote Categorized and, or, alphabetical . These are buttons to sort your list
of Properties in the following table. Right arrowing again once or twice will
expose a button labeled quote Events.
click it and the list of events for your control is shown. You can then
select one of them by hitting enter on it. Your screen view will be changed and
you will be placed in the Text Editor and the Sub for that event. The most
common event is the Click Event for a button and this is where you will write
the code to be executed when the button is clicked by someone using your
application.I hope you find out how to use the method you described, it would
be allot faster and easier than switching around all the time.

Hi.
Sorry if you get this message twice. I got confused about which email
address was subscribed to this list and the one I did originally send it to was
the wrong one. I'm assuming it won't get through so i'm going ahead and sending
through the proper address.
I've been messing around with visual basic express addition 2008, reading
help files and things like that to learn a thing or two. I've hit a little
issue I can't figure out how to get around. I want to take the button I have on
my form, and I want to be able to look at a list of events available for the
button and choose one. The help instructs me to add my button to my form, then
open the code editer. It says there's a drop down box at the top left and the
top right of the screen. It says the top left drop down box will list the
controls on my form so button1, and have a couple extras like form1 and
general. It said make sure button1 is selected, and on the right drop down box
you get a list of events for that button e.g. clicking the button, moving the
mouse over it, moving the mouse away, etc. But when I go to the code editer f7
after adding my button, I find that i'm unable to move out of the text area
with the code code in it. I can look around with the jaws cursor just under the
menu bar I found the word general, at the beginning of one of the lines, and
the help says that's one of the options that will be in that left drop down box
that lists the controls on my form. That computes, but what i'm wondering is,
how can I do this? I seam to be unable to get into these drop down boxes
because i'm actually stuck in the code edite's text area. I can't find
alternative ways to do this from the menus. Any suggestions?
Thanks
