I have noticed that in versions of jaws going back as far as 6.20, that
pressing the windows key does not stop speech if the contents of a
listview or other control is being read. This also will not stop a
sayAll if SayAll is in progress.
This can be addressed in the MenuActiveProcessed function in jaws
versions 7.10 8.0 and 9 public beta
look for
If GetWindowSubTypeCode(hWnd) == WT_STARTMENU then
Insert a line containing the stopSpeach function.
Your code should look like this:
If GetWindowSubTypeCode(hWnd) == WT_STARTMENU then
StopSpeech ()
For jaws 7.0 and 6.20 you would need to modify the MenuModeEvent.
Look for the following lines:
If mode == MENU_ACTIVE then
If GetWindowSubTypeCode(WinHandle) == WT_STARTMENU then
once again you would add the stopSpeach function after the second if
statement.
so the code should look like this:
If mode == MENU_ACTIVE then
If GetWindowSubTypeCode(WinHandle) == WT_STARTMENU then
StopSpeech ()
I do not know if there are any problems that could arise as a result of
making this change, but it seems to me that little things like this
probably contribute to the opinion that Jaws is less responsive than it
should be. I am amaze that this has not been noticed and fixed before
now.
