Doug,
Thanks for this.
Basically, the situation was that I wanted to intercept all sliders. But,
the actuall window class returned for some of them is nonstandard, so they
had to be reclassed. So, to identify a slider, I need to look for a bunchof
different classes, unless I can intercept after the reclass takes place.
So, that's what I was looking for, is an efficient way to ask jaws if it
thinks this is a slider, based on it's own logic, plus the
reclassifications.
I can peruse the jcf, and build my own string of class names that equate to
slider, and search the string. I just thought there might be an easier way.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Honoring Window Reclass
I see two possible meanings to yur question, so I'll tackle both:
1. How to figure out if a given window of a given class has been reclassed:
Window reclassing affects getWindowType*/Subtype* functions, such as
getWindowTypeCode(). So you could test a window class and then its type or
subtype code to see if it has been adjusted...
But JAWS itself sometimes reclasses windows as versions become newer...
so...
2. How to tell if a user has reclassed a window:
Read the app's user-folder .jcf file, which is in the .ini format and thus
easy to read with things like iniReadString. The only irregularity here is
the pseudo-class "MSAA," which ends up in a different .jcf section from the
rest of the reclassings.

Is there a preferred way to evaluate window class, taking window
reclassification into account?
I can dig into where this is stored, and hack a way of doing it. but, I
wondered if there is a better way.
The scenario is some window class that you know is similar to something else
that jaws knows about. So, you use the reclassification wizard, to reclass
it to be a slider, for example.
So, what I want to do, is to get the class of a window, and find out if it
has been reclassified to a slider.
What's the right way to do that?
