Hi Joseph,
I found most of the commands I wanted in globalCommands.py. I have tried to
create a very small add-on to execute the function to speak the current time. My
problem is that I am not sure what to do about the gesture parameter that the
date and time script wants. I want to execute it programmatically and not with a
gesture so the gesture parameter will be blank.
The script has been defined as
def script_ Time(self,gesture):
My add-on is below
import globalPluginHandler
import globalCommands
class GlobalPlugin(globalPluginHandler.GlobalPlugin):
def script_announceDT(self, gesture):
dateTime(gesture)

Hi,
Yes, you do need to look at NVDA source code itself. In fact, some of the
community add-ons have borrowed ideas and user interface mechanics from NVDA
core.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for this. Where can I go to get a list of scripts that are globally
available? I am guessing I have to look at the code.

Hi,
For global commands, yes. You need to use:
globalCommands.GlobalCommands.script_name(gesture)
For apps, you need to test if the script can be found by using "has attribute"
function like so:
hasattr(object, "script")
Same goes with other attributes you wish to test. One useful way is to test NVDA
version indirectly by testing for presence of specific attributes in a module.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [nvda-addons] Executing NVDA commands programmatically
Hi all,
Is it possible to execute NVDA commands programmatically from within a NVDA
add-on? For example, if I wrote an add-on for Microsoft Word that did something
and I wanted it to read the current line, could I execute this command from
within the add-on? One way would be to execute the relevant key combination but
keys can be changed. Could I perhaps scroll through a dictionary of gestures and
or commands, find the one I want and then execute it?
