I have no experience with frames. I want to read the status row on this
dialogue which indicates if the appointment I am viewing conflicts with
another, is already in my calendar, is out of date, etc. Following the JFW
Help instructions, I tried creating a frame around this area. In JAWS
cursor, I navigated to the left end of the row and used Control + Shift + [
to set the top left corner of the frame. I moved the Jaws Cursor to the end
of the line and used Control + Shift + ] to set the bottom right corner of
the frame. I set echo to 'all' (not quite sure what I was doing here). I
then poked around trying to find how to set the properties to make this
frame active only in the Appointment dialogue. I finally figured out how to
set the frame properties (not sure how and have been unable to repeat once
frame created). Because the title included the label for the specific
appointment I was viewing, I deleted the title match rule and left the
window class rule.
The frame does not read the correct text while in the Appointment dialogue.
Also, it seems to be active throughout the Outlook application and is
reading trash as I use Outlook. When I press Control + Shift + Jaws + A, I
am told there are no active frames found. When I press Jaws + F9, I see my
frame, but do not seem to be able to do anything with it (delete, edit,
properties, etc.).
This is probably simple and I am fumbling over some of the concepts.
Nonetheless, I would appreciate any guidance!
Regards, Jeff
