denversdigitalhelpdesk, my best suggestion for you regarding that is
to take a look at your window classes, then give a google. U can
usually get at least some idea what you're looking at then. The only
accessible QT framework is 5, so you'll likely not make much, if any,
headway on versions prior to that. The reality is u don't really have
to know. U just have to keep an eye on things like whether control
ID's remain static or not, whether windows are reachable via a
hierarchy, etc.

Hi Jackie
Thank you for the help. I repaired JAWS and color recognition was better.
Big thanks for pointing me to the getcoloratpoint function, this did the
trick!
I am a newbie, can you tell me how to tell the difference from a .NET
application or one built from QT, or any other framework?

Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Understanding An App's Hierarchy
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
