Hi Rick,
I'm going to guess that this sounds like a JAWS problem. Do you do something to
hide, then show the label? If so, after you hide the label, with JAWS, press
Insert + Escape, then see if it disappears. If it does, then JAWS isn't
updating its representation of the screen. Is there some sort of function that
can redraw the window, or a portion of it? If so, then you might want to invoke
it after you hide or show the label in the hope that JAWS will pick up on the
attempt to redraw. This isn't the best situation, though. You shouldn't need to
compensate for any screen reader if something is supposed to work.
Thanks.
Jim

Subject: [program-l] JAWS and Hidden Label still reading
Hi:
I have a vb.net app and hide a label control when a button is clicked.
WindowEyes reads correctly, the label is gone, and a sighted user confirms the
label is gone from the screen.
I run NVDA and it reads the label as does JAWS on another fellow's machine.
Is this a bug in JAWS or am I missing something obvious?
I have tried both TickerLabel.Visible = False and TickerLabel.Hide() with the
same results.
Any help, ideas or workarounds?
Rick USA
