I did this in a new SayNextLine() and SayPriorLine() script to read a
highlighted line in a popup box. I also had it inside an If IsPCCursor so
it wouldn't limit using the jaws cursor it they needed to.
Var string strText
SaveCursor
If FindColors (RGBStringToColor ("000255255"), RGBStringToColor
("000000128"), S_TOP) ==1 Then
RouteJAWSToPC ()
Delay (3)
Let strText = GetColorField ()
SayMessage (OT_LINE, strText)
Endif
That's one way I did it.
