Wow! And, Terrill, you were hiding this information from us?! :-) No seriously, many thanks for posting this to the list, I'm sure many others would find it rather helpful too. I'll carry out the instructions sometime soon then lurk waiting for that balloon to popup! Actually, would someone have a trick to provoke these balloons to show up? :-) Just to put the scripts for a test after compiling them.
Thanks once again, Terrill, for this helpful tip. Cheers, Amro----- Original Message ----- From: "Terrill Reynolds" <terrill1@xxxxxxxx>

Hi Amro: No problem you can butt in, any time. <Smile> Here you go, hope someone finds it of help. Increase Balloon Tip Display Time .reg file and Click balloon script: Below are instructions to accomplish this: A. below is instructions on how to make the .reg file.Copy the below in note pad and save it. Now find the file you just createdand rename it to "changeballoontime.reg, and enter on it and say yes when prompted if you want to add the information to your registry. Copy what is between start copying and end copying; but do not copy the words start copying and end copying. After this, you can insert the script below the reg key instructions intoyour default script manager for a hot key to click on balloon tips quickly.• Below are the .reg file instructions. You can also download the ClickHelpBalloon script from the below URL: http://dl.50webs.org/scripts/balloon.txt start copying Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify] "BalloonTip"=dword:0000000a end copying B. balloonXPScriptsByBlake Sinnett below: If you copy the following script into your default script manager you can quickly click on a balloon tip before it disappears. 1. Open your script manager by hitting insert + zero, thin hit shift+control+D to open the default script manager. 2. Do a control + end to go to the end of the default scripts and hit enter a couple of time to make a couple of blank lines after the last script. 3. Copy the below script and paste it into the default script manager at the end where you just made the two blank lines. 4. make sure you are in the script you just pasted with the arrow keys. 5. Hit control + D and you will land on a page to enter information. The first thing you will see is the script name, which will already be in the edit field, leave this name as is. 6. Tab to can be attached to key and make sure it is checked 7. Tab to synopsis and enter a description such as click on balloon tips. 8. Tab to description and enter the same thing you did for the synopsis field, when you use keyboard help with insert + 1 and hit the key combination you assign it will announce what you put here.9. Tab again and it will say category, do not do anything to this; leave itas is. 10. Tab to assign to and type in the key combination you want to use, (note use a key not already in use by jaws), I use windows key + B.Therefore, I would hit the windows key and the letter B at the same time totell the script manager that is the key I want to use for this script. 11. Tab to OK and hit the space bar. 12. Now you will be back in the list of scripts. Your script will benamed ClickHelpBalloon (), so arrow down so your in the body of that script and hit control + S to compile the script and then hit alt + F4 to exit thescript manager. Now when a balloon tip pops up you can hit the windows key + B and it will click on the balloon tip for you before it can disappear. The script is below. Copy only what is between start copying script and end copying; leaving out the words start copying script and end copying: Start copying script Script ClickHelpBalloon () Var String SClass, ; The name of the window class. String SName, ; The name of the window. Handle HWND ; The handle of the current window. Let SClass = GetWindowClass (GetFirstWindow (FindTopLevelWindow ("Shell_TrayWnd", ""))) Let SName = GetWindowName (GetFirstWindow (FindTopLevelWindow ("Shell_TrayWnd", ""))) Let HWND = GetFocus () GetFocus () If SClass == "tooltips_class32" & SName != "" then ; Click the balloon. SayFormattedMessage (OT_NO_Disable, "Clicked help balloon.", "Clicked.") SetFocus (GetFirstWindow (FindTopLevelWindow ("Shell_TrayWnd", ""))) SaveCursor () RouteJAWSToPc () RoutePcToJAWS () {LeftMouseButton} SetFocus (HWND) ; Return the focus to its previous window. Else if SClass != "tooltips_class32" || SName == "" then ; State that a help balloon wasn't found. SayFormattedMessage (OT_No_Disable, "Help balloon not found.", "Not found.") EndIf EndIf EndScript End copyingI suggest you use the link to download the script as a text file since I donot know if your mail client will mess up the lines in the script, it usually does not but they have to be exact.If you can right click on the link and choose, save as to download the .txtfile to your hard drive. If you can not do this then either enter on the link or paste it into your browser or the run box and it will open up thetext file where you can select all with control ++A and then control + V topaste into your default script manager instead.
