Hi, Maybe I'm too mujch of a beginner to try this. I'm not confident that I can read the source and figure out what to use. Maybe I should study Python more. Thanks for trying.

This depends on what you want NVDA to do for you in your add-on (or in the core code). If you want to play tones, you’d import tones module. If you want to work with UIA objects (Windows Vista and above, but works properly with Windows 8.x), you’d import needed objects from NvDAObjects.UIA. If you want to deal with touch input (like I do for my add-ons), you’d import touchHandler module.

I should use one of these, and then check the characteristics of the window to see if it is the one I want to know about. Is that right? And also, how do I figure out what to import? I'm sorry to ask, but maybe this is over my head, as a beginning Python guy. I'm also on the beginners list that you are contributing to. Thanks.

Try nameChange, valueChange, stateChange (in that order) until you get expected result (likely valueChange should help the most).
