David A. Lockwood:
On your first question, I'm also looking ways how to read the Cristal Report.
so, may be, I cnnot tell anything about your #1 question.
2nd, yes, JAWS can read the status bar even if it has an child window. Have u
tried to maximize the child and the MDI form?
3rd, you can use the property window if JAWS does not read the lables under the
frame.
Hope This Helps

Hello David,
I am a blind programmer, however, I am unfamiliar with Visual Basic, but if
you don't find the answers you are looking for on this list, I suggest you try
blindprogramming.com, which is a great resource for blind programmers. They
also have a users group where you can get assistance. I know there are several
members who are very knowledgeable with VB6. Good luck with your project!
Best regards,
Alan

Hello! I'm new to this list and need help. I am a developer with
Northrop Grumman CSC in Little Rock, Arkansas. I am attempting to
retrofit a vb6 application to State of Arkansas accessibility standards.
I have at least three major problems.
1) JAWS does not appear to read Crystal Reports. Is there a way
to do this?
2) Jaws can read text in the MDI form status bar from child forms
(because it remains active); however the vb application, while using an
MDI, does not use child forms, but rather programmatically controlled
forms. Is there a way to read from the MDI statusbar if not using child
forms?
3) Jaws reads left-hand labels by controls, but when the controls
and labels are on a frame with a frame caption, JAWS does NOT read the
labels and instead reads the frame caption. Is there a way to get JAWS
to read the labels on the frame?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
