Let me see the code and I'll compile it here and see what happens.
It should work.
What it will do is search for the control throughout the entire application's
main window, and if it is there, it should find it.
Also, while on the link/control, see what type of MSAA object sub type code
F9/F10, and Window sub type code F1/F3, while in HomeRow.
We might be able to search for that puppy via the type.
Thanks,
Dennis Brown

Hi Dennis,
I inserted the code into the script, but I had a compile error. The message
is syntax error om the If condition
If hControl then
Where do I go from here?
Thanks,

Dennis,
That didn't work either. I still got the error message not found and your
script that you suggestted did not say 99.
Very frustrated Lennie

SayInteger(99)

I always use this as a test script in order to test parts of the
script's code without executing the entire script I'm currently working upon.
Let me know what happens.
Thanks,

Hi Dennis,
Yes, the link still cannot be found. I double checked the control ID
and it is 96. I changed the script to your suggestion below and the darn thing
still cannot be found.
Thanks,
Frustrated Lennie

Are you getting the message that the link cannot be found?
Try changing hGrip to
let hGrip=GetAppMainWindow(GetFocus())

Hi Dennis,
Unfortunately, I still cannot get the script to work. I included
the modification as you suggested, but somehow I must be missing something. I
omitted the part of checking for album tag. The control ID that I am trying to
get to does not have a MSAA object name.
Thanks for your help.
Lennie
The script is below:
Script GoToLinkAlbum ()
Var
handle hGrip,
string sLink
let sLink = "Link album to disc"
TypeKey (cKSDetail)
TabKey ()
let hGrip = GetCurrentWindow ()
If MoveToControl (hGrip, 96) then
SayWord ()
Else
SayMessage (OT_ERROR, "The link album to disc cannot be
found")
SaveCursor ()
RouteJAWSToPc ()
JAWSCursor ()
JAWSPageUp ()
JAWSEnd ()
LeftMouseButton ()
RestoreCursor ()
EndIf
EndScript

Instead of a While loop and multiple tab presses, a couple of
shortcut methods you can use are:
1. If you already have the window handle in hGrip, and already
know the control ID is 96, then use
If MoveToControl(hGrip,96) Then
; Finds, then moves mouse to the link...
LeftMouseButton()
PcCursor()
Else
Say("Link not found.",ot_error)
EndIf
It will activate the JawsCursor and move to the control.
All you need is the LeftMouseButton and PcCursor().
2. If it has an MSAA object name...you can manually go to the
link, and while on that puppy, do the following:
a. Hit Insert+Space to activate Home Row.
b. Hit F9 and F10 to cycle through the MSAA values (if it has
any), and see if the MSAA name has any text.
c. Press Insert+Space to toggle out of Home Row mode.
If it has an MSAA name with the same text as what you have
saved in sLink, then use the following to move to, and activate that puppy:
If ClickObjectByName(hGrip,sLink,1) Then
; Finds, and clicks on the link, if it is there.
Return
Else
;If it isn't, then it returns the error message.
Say("Link not found.",ot_error)
EndIf
These methods should shorten your script, and thereby make it
less prone to errors when executing.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Dennis Brown

Hi Listers,
I have a script that I want to use to cut down the number of
keystrokes to get to a particular button.
The application is a CD catalogue program and when I manually
add a new CD, I need to go to the "Link album to disc" button to calculate the
total time of the CD.
My script is not working. I open up a detail window to move
to varrious information pertaining to the CD, such as the album title, genre,
total time etc., but when I use a shortcut key to move to the button, I always
get the message that the "Link the album to disc" cannot be found.
My script is below. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Lennie
The script starts here:
Script GoToLinkAlbum ()
Var
handle hGrip,
string sAlbum,
string sLink,
int iCount
let sAlbum = "Album"
let sLink = "Link album to disc"
let iCount = 0
TypeKey (cKSDetail)
; open the album detail window
SaveCursor ()
RouteJAWSToPc ()
;SayWord ()
If GetWord () != sAlbum then
SayMessage (OT_ERROR, "You must be in an album to
perform this function. Request cancelled")
JAWSCursor ()
JAWSPageUp ()
JAWSEnd ()
LeftMouseButton ()
RestoreCursor ()
Return
EndIf
RestoreCursor ()
TabKey ()
; This tab moves to the list of various controls pertaining
to the album
let hGrip = GetCurrentWindow ()
let iCount = 1
while iCount < 19
; Look for Control ID 96 which is the 18th item pertaining to
the album
GetControlID (hGrip)
If (GetControlID(hGrip) != 96) then
let iCount = iCount + 1
TabKey ()
; move to the next item
let hGrip = GetCurrentWindow ()
else
let iCount = 20
; We found it
EndIf
EndWhile
If (iCount == 20) then
ShiftTabKey ()
;move to "Link album to disc"
SayWord ()
Else
SayMessage (OT_ERROR, "The link album to disc
cannot be found")
SaveCursor ()
RouteJAWSToPc ()
JAWSCursor ()
JAWSPageUp ()
JAWSEnd ()
LeftMouseButton ()
; close the detail window
RestoreCursor ()
EndIf
EndScript
