Hi, I'm not sure what FS meant when they said this, but I'd guess that if the control doesn't supply the usual MSAA properties with the expected parameters that the function doesn't go looking for them in any other way such as video buffer scraping.

Hi all, In the JAWS script documentation for lvGetItemText() there's a note that says the function does not work for "owner-drawn items." Does anyone know what this means? If an item is owner-drawn in a classic MFC-based app, how does one change the list view so JAWS likes it? Barring that what's the best way to script it to read the content? Currently JAWS is not reading the list view, it does know what item number has the focus, and the list view is keyboard accessible. In fact, it would appear that the list view control is the standard Windows one, with no customizing. So that's why I'm grasping at the "owner-drawn item" straw. Any suggestions? Thanks. __________???
