Hello, Jeff. What u have here is a .net application, & they can be
tricky. You're also using the saycolor() function, if my intuition is
correct, to get the colors you're looking for, &, unfortunately, this
often returns incorrect information.
You are best off, IMO, in applications such as these to use the
findwindow() function or similar. You're also better off using
something like getcoloratpoint(), as this tends to provide a more
accurate naming of the color in question, ie, a sighted person may say
it's red, but the computer might believe it's more burgundy or
magenta, for example.
The other thing you may wish to do is object rather than window
hierarchy. But generally speaking FindWindow is often successful in
these sorts of applications.
Good luck w/your project.

Hello All
I believe I am in over my head on a scripting task. Any help that can be
offered is appreciated.
I am having problems understanding this applications Hierarchy using the
JAWS utility. The window types are reported as
WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0ecf914 or
WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.31cf918
And so on. It seems as though handles and some windows are dynamically
created at runtime. So I am having trouble moving through the windows by
their reported Hierarchy, X = 3 & Y = 4. Is there a better way to
understand
the relations?
I also have had no luck using the FindColors function. I want to know when
the window's color turns red, when normally a light gray. Nor does the
function return true when looking for black text on a white background, in
edit fields that are being displayed. Is there a better way to detect when
the window color turns red, or a red dot is present next to a password
field, indicating it is required for that account?
SayChunck has not been successful in finding gray text among the
transaction
history list. I used the RGB string of 128128128 in the FindColors function
and it too, does not see the difference. Is there possibly something wrong
with the JAWS install? Or is there a better way to detect these items?
Thank you much in advance
Jeff
