Oh Steve and BTW, in case it matters, I've seen situations where graphics
actually Are located in, individual windows of their very own.
And then, those windows of course can then change their names, depending on
what the graphic might become, as it's clicked! So I always pretty much
like to iliminate, all, of the CurrentWindow name if asked by
HotSpotClicker, during spot definition, for that reason. That's another
thing which can very readily break it from being successful in hsc land.
The other good question to ask here is, and I'm not absolutely sure of the
answer myself, but someone up here will know, is whether the FindGraphic
Function, actually uses, the JawsCursor, when doing it's graphic searching,
or the invisible?
Coz, if, as I suspect, it's the invisible cursor it uses for the search,
then you got the other caveat to explore here, which is to see if that
graphic you've so carefully labelled, is the same graphic number, and thus
retains the text label associated with that number, when the invisible
cursor is hovering over it rather than the JawsCursor!. Because That can
happen too of course. Meaning you can be over a graphic with the jaws
cursor, happily provide it a nice text label with that,
Then find that this graphic totally changes it's visual state/graphic
number,
when the jawsCursor/mouse is no longer hovering over it. Thus requiring
relabelling with an identical label, with the invisible cursor as well.
hth.
