Hi Travis:
Thanks for your response. I did not notice the not in the menusactive
condition. That will teach me to use the all punctuation setting I
guess. It's always good to get a fresh prospective on the logic though.
I should add however that I took that block of code directly from the
braille.jss file. I assumed that I should leave it in tact in the
brlAddObjectName function. I do not really understand why it was there.
I ultimately had to remove that code because none of my subsequent
processing was happening.
Now the braille output is working as I want it to. I was able to
remove the brlAddDialogPageName and other brladdObject functions and do
all of what I wanted in the BrlAddObjectName function.
My current function is as below. Thanks for helping me through this.
int function BrailleAddObjectName (int nSubtypeCode)
var
handle hWnd,
string strNameText,
int iFound,
string sFormTitle
Let hWnd = GetFocus ()
if nSubtypeCode == WT_DIALOG then
let sFormTitle = GetWindowName (GetRealWindow (GetFocus ()))
let iFound = StringContains (sFormTitle, " -")
if iFound then
let sFormTitle = StringLeft (sFormTitle, iFound-1)
endif
BrailleAddString (sFormTitle,0,0,0)
return true
elIf nSubtypeCode == WT_EDIT then
let strNameText = GetWindowName (hWnd)
let iFound = StringContains (strNameText, " -")
if iFound then
let strNameText = StringLeft (strNameText, iFound-1)
endif
BrailleAddString (
strNameText,0,0,0)
Return TRUE
EndIf
return false
endFunction

Hi David,
If I understand your comment you're saying that when the conditional in
BrailleAddObjectName() is present the Braille returns to the long
title.
The conditional currently says:
If ! MenusActive () then
As I read that it is saying to me that if a menu is not active or
open, then do not do special processing. (Note the exclaimation mark.)
My guess is its working as designed as I'd expect a menu to not be
active when an edit field has focus for example.
If a function returns true, then default processing does not occur for
that object attribute. If a function returns false then default
processing wil also occur, appending to whatever your function has
placed on the Braille display. From your code it looks like you found
this already, so apologies if I'm stating the obvious.
Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding the issue.

titles?
Hi Jim and Travis
The problem is not how to shorten the desired string, but how to
insure
that Jaws puts the modified string on the braille display without also
including the original un-modified string.
I have been trying to isolate the various brl functions that normally
take care of this as Travis suggested, but have been having problems
determining how to code the BrlAddObjectName function so that it will
provide the names for the various edit fields without also causing the
long title for the dialogue to appear as well.
As far as I can determine, the BrailleAddObjectDlgText was not the
culprit. it was not picking up any text and seemed to fall back to
the
default processing.
I will provide below the functions that I have been working with.
if I comment out the conditional statements in the
BrailleAddObjectName
function, then my shortened title will be displayed as I planned
without
the longer title being displayed as well.
as soon as I remove the comments from the function, the longer title,
followed by the shorter English title and then the DLG type for the
dialogue and then the name of the particular control will be displayed
int function BrailleAddObjectName (int nSubtypeCode)
var
handle hWnd,
string strNameText
If ! MenusActive () then
Return FALSE
EndIf
Let hWnd = GetFocus ()
If nSubtypeCode == WT_EDIT then
BrailleAddString (
GetWindowName (hWnd),0,0,0)
Return TRUE
EndIf
Return false
endFunction
int function BrailleAddObjectContainerName(int nSubtypeCode)
BrailleAddString ("",0,0,0)
Return TRUE;
endFunction
int function BrailleAddObjectDlgPageName(int nSubtypeCode)
var int iFound,
string sFormTitle
if nSubtypeCode == WT_DIALOG then
let sFormTitle = GetWindowName (GetRealWindow (GetFocus ()))
let iFound = StringContains (sFormTitle, " -")
if iFound then
let sFormTitle = StringLeft (sFormTitle, iFound-1)
BrailleAddString (sFormTitle,0,0,0)
return true
else
BrailleAddString (sFormTitle,0,0,0)
return true
endif
return false
endif
endFunction

Hi David,
I'm assuming, without knowing how your application works, that the
whole string you want is in the title of the window. According to my
memory, GetRealWindowName would get you the whole string. Is there
anything in the string that you can rely on to tell you when the
French
starts? If so, you might be able to use one of the functions that find
things in strings or string segment functions to extract one part of
the
string. After you have the right string, what did you want to do with
it
in Braille?
Thanks.
