Wow! OK! Thanks Udo for this idea, I will go experiment with this now and see
if it functions in virtual realm.
BTW, I did not see either of the posts I made yesterday, come bback to my inbox
from the list, so wasn't at all sure, that they got out there. In fact I
haven't seen any posts from this list in the last several days. is anyone else
having any suspected lower-traffic than normal issues here? Or is it just at my
end?
Thanks much again for the idea Udo.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: When using JawsFindNext in a script, How to prevent
it from wrapping to Top in IE,? Or at least programatically how to determine
that it has wrapped?
________________________________________________________________________________
Hi Geoff,
why not use the FindString-Function? I have not tested this but I think it
should work in IE.
<Code>
var
string sStringToFind = "MyString"
if FindString (GetFocus (), sStringToFind, S_NEXT, S_RESTRICTED, True) then
SayString ("found")
else
SayString ("not found")
EndIf
<Code End>
You can change GetFocus() To GetRealWindow(GetFocus()) if it doesn't work.
Or S_RESTRICTED (which searches in the given window) to S_UNRESTRICTED (wich
searches the whole App)
The constant S_NEXT searches only the next string to find, you can have a look
in HKConst for other variables.
Hope this helps
Udo

Hello Scripters.
Today, I'm needing to do something which *should* be incredibly Simple! But
... as usual, is completely stumping me! :(.
GRRR!
OK, so, By Default, it appears the JawsFindNext ()
Function, (which seems to be a builtin with no parameters,) will continually
"wrap to top" when utilised.
Well, inside the IE Browser, in a while loop, I'm needing to just search the
current page once through, and then stop, That is, not wrrap to top,
for as many instances as it finds of specific text, that I've designated in
SetJawsFindText ().
Or, at the very least, have some way of my being able to determine that it
has wrapped to top, so that I can use that information to exit the while loop
and stop the search.
But, although I know that somehow that function certainly does know when it
is wrapping to top,
for it says so, and also makes an alert ding sound!
For the life of me, I'm somehow simply unable to determine how it knows that,
and/or, how I can stop it in my particular application.
Or, snaffle that knowledge in my own script so that I can effectively use
that to stop my while loop searchings.
If anyone could assist me to solve what should be such a simple problem,
and/or the methodology for how I should go aboutt determining this for myself,
it would be most warmly appreciated!
I have another related question but I shall post that in a separate thread.
with kind regards
Geoff C.
