This is going to be difficult.
Sometimes these checkboxes will appear as graphics.  If this is the
case, you might be able to label the graphic once for the checked
checkbox and once for the unchecked checkbox.  If this is not the case,
you could always try out Hotspot clicker.  You might be able to isolate
the window and get hotspot clicker to indicate whether the checkbox is
checked or not.  Geoff may be able to provide you more specific
instructions on this.  you can get hotspotclicker at
www.hotspotclicker.org

It does not recognize it as check box. When I tried to re-classify, it
classifies the entire form as checkbox.
Is there a way to change this?

Is Jaws recognizing the control as a checkbox?
If not, You can try to reclassify the control with the window
reclassification assignment functionality.

You should take a look at this using the jaws homerow functionality to
see if the name or type of control is being reported.  Also try
looking
at the MSAA properties using the f9 and f10 keys.  You should find a
section in the basics of scripting manual which discusses the homerow
mode and how to use it.
This topic can be found in the book called Windows program structure.
There is also a topic on reassigning window classes.

If you are using Jaws 11, the keystrokes for activating homerow mode
have changed.  if you are using Jaws 11, the new key assignment is:
JawsKey+control+- on the number pad.  for earlier versions of jaws,
use
JawsKey+space.

Hi,

JAWS is not reading the checkbox objects at all. Neither the lable,
nor
the
state of the checkbox.
Please help me how that can be achieved.
