The situation is sort of like a spreadsheet, but not in Excell, in a software
design tool. It's the entities on a diagram. As you operate the arrows, you
move focus to one entity or another, along prescribed paths. And, the way the
program indicates focus is by moving a box around that encloses an entity.
The box is, of course, indicated by alternating bands of color.
Jaws doesn't track that focus change, even though Track Focus Rectangle is
turned on. And, the focus object isn't moving around. And, I can't think of
any place where you can specify the definition of a focus rectangle.
So, I guess I'll have to search for it myself.
Anyway, for some reason I don't seem to have any code around where I did this,
even though I've certainly seen it before. So, I'm about to rewrite some
clever code to search for that box, and know I'll have a great time doing it,
even though if I were more orderly, I wouldn't have to. But, it will be a nice
little short brain teaser, though when I get it done, it's going to be a dog
of a performer. An old dog. So, is there a better way to approach this? You
guys know any tricks I might try? Or, something obvious I've overlooked?
Think twice, if it's really simple. Are you sure you wanna tell me? You know
you might be depriving a compulsive programmer of his kicks. <grin>
