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,

Subject: [jawsscripts] Need help. script not working
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
