Frame viewer is a Jaws tool which allows you to put a virtual frame around a
section of the screen and assign a keystroke to the frame. It can be used at
application level and when the keystroke is used any text within the frame is
spoken. For example, I have defined a frame around the line and column
information in the Word status bar and assigned the keystroke right Windows c
to it.

If the status bar is static on the screen, you could try assigning a Jaws frame
and associated keystroke to enable the user to read its contents.

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.
