Depends largely on the program the list is in. ClickObjectByName() might work.
It may also be possible, if that doesn't work, to set the active cursor
restriction to the list object's window (or a frame) using GetWindowRect() and
passing those values to SetRestrictionToRect(), activate the JAWS cursor, and
perform a JawsPageUp() call followed by a LeftMouseButton(). If all else fails,
using FindString() and hunting for the header name would work, but obviously
that can be error prone depending on the window if the list titles are very
simple and common words.
Personally, if I couldn't attach to the object directly, I'd do the cursor
restrictions. Assuming the list has its own window element (or parent object,
since GetObjectRect() would work here too), the meat of a script function I'd
make would look like this:
Var handle hwnd, int ileft, int iRight, int iTop, int iBottom
GetWindowRect(hwnd, iLeft, iRight, iTop, iBottom)
JawsCursor()
SaveCursor()
RouteJawstoPC()
SetRestrictionToRect(iLeft, iTop, iRight, iBottom)
JawsPageUp()
LeftMouseButton()
SetRestriction(RestrictNone)
RestoreCursor()
PCCursor()
The only real hitch you get there is HOW you get hwnd, since it probably needs
to be a parent above the level of the list objects. If the List Contents is a
window its own, you can't just use GetCurrentWindow() or GetFocus(), because
the restriction will wind up stopping the cursor right underneath the headers.

Subject: [jawsscripts] clicking a column header in a listview
Hi.
I've been looking around some and can't find a function that will let me click
the column header in a list view to sort the list by that column. Is there a
quick and dirty way to do this? JAWS 13, XP Pro SP3.
