Thanks for the good info as usual, Will.
Perhaps you might develop a JAWS script library for handling Winforms
controls that JAWS does not handle well by default. Other scripters
could incorporate the library in a .NET application .jss file by means
of the Use command. Just a thought.

Hi Jamal,
Unfortunately they won't run with CLR applications. Each application,
as is
common with Windows applications, has a different name, and as usual,
the
file name of the JAWS scripts have to match the application's name in
order
for JAWS to determine that the scripts should be used with that
application.
However, the window classes used within Windows Forms applications have
class names that JAWS doesn't recognise. As a result of JAWS not
recognising the class names, it actually uses MSAA, which for the most
part
works great, especially as WinForms applications are proxied by MSAA if
there's an equivalent control within the collection of standard and
common
Windows controls. Apart from the WinForms controls that don't have an
equivalent amongst the standard and common Windows controls, JAWS also
uses
the off screen model for edit controls, which subjects edit controls to
the
usual stability of the JAWS off screen model. If people wanted to, they
could cut and copy what Travis and myself are doing for WinForms edit
controls and use it in their own scripts.
We'll try and get something out before early November, it just depends
on
how busy we both are *smile*.

Hi Will and Travis,
Regarding the scripts you're developing, I'm curious whether they
would
be only for blind programmers developing with the Visual Studio IDE ,
or
whether they would support blind users of .NET-based applications as
well, e.g., executables developed with the IDE that incorporate the
.NET
runtime engine.
Also, do you think you can post beta scripts to try before the VS2005
commercial release?
Regards,
Jamal
