Hi David, I can close the dialogue box from the keyboard using the escape key. For some strange reason, this sequence does not work from a script. I am baffled.

The escape will usually close a dialogue if the programmer has designed it to be closed in that way. However, it is quite possible that non standard controls were used or perhaps the control's properties were not set so that pressing the escape key would close the dialogue.

The whole idea of passing the escape key to the application is to close an open dialogue. This does not appear to work from a script. Am I going to have to find the close button and activate it?

This was to use the Escape key as opposed to "press" it. My apologies. I see Dennis has given the response needed.

It is recommended that you do not use this key. However, if you must go to keyboard manager Jaws +8 then go to options. Arrow down to hot keys. Here you will find hot keys that you should really think seriously about using. If you must then arrow down to the escape key and check it. Tab to the ok button. Now you will be able to use the escape key in a script. Again, exercise caution when making scripts attached to these specific hot keys.

If I want to have a script hit the "Escape" key, how do I do it?
