Hello Joseph,
Thank you. I will check out the TeamTalk addon for the code you speak of.
What do I do if as I'm suspecting the IDs are dynamically generated
like during program install?
Thanks.
Dave.

Hi David,----------------------------------------------------------------
I think a slightly better way would be to have a map (dictionary) of control
ID's to label names so the object init event can pull it in (this is
employed in TeamTalk add-on and others). Note that this works best if
control ID's are static across sessions/systems/upgrades.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [nvda-addons] Dynamically changing control IDs
Hello,
I'm trying to write an addon for an application, it's called demon tools
lite and it's purpose is to mount iso or other cd/dvd disk images as virtual
cd/dvd drives.
I installed this app on one of my machines, 7 at the time, since gone to
ten, and made a .py file, part below. It's going to do a few things, first
check for a button, then check if that button has a specific control ID, if
it does, speak a label so that when tabbing through I know what each button,
which by default are unlabeled, does.
The problem is I put this app on another machine, laptop that went ten, and
loaded the app module. It didn't work. Exploring the buttons I found out
why, apparently the app uses dynamically generated control IDs for the
buttons, works fine on the one box, doesn't work a t all on the other.
Here's a snipet of code:
import appModuleHandler
from NVDAObjects.window import Window
class AppModule(appModuleHandler.AppModule):
def event_NVDAObject_init(self, obj):
if isinstance(obj, Window) and obj.windowClassName == "Button":
if obj.windowControlID == 1042:
obj.name = "Connect"
if obj.windowControlID == 1043:
obj.name = "Save"
Does anyone have a better way of doing this or something more reliable?
Thanks.
Dave.
