Hi Celia:
That is the Output Window that holds the Error Window stuff. You can never get
rid of it totally from my experience but you can reduce it's impact on your
work by doing a few things.
The options you want to play with are in the Options TreeView for the IDE.
You get there from the Menu Bar:
Tools>Options: Hit enter:
The Options TreeView comes up and you can up or down cursor tto get on a
tabbable item then,
Tab and make sure Show All Settings checkbox is checked.
Tab back to the list of Tabbed Items and,
Under TextEditor:
Under VB specific:
Tab and uncheck auto insert of end constructs, pretty listing, enable auto
error correction Suggestions.
Then tab and click OK or continue to set the options for CSharp,
Under the CSharp:
Under Advanced:
Underline Errors In the Editor, show live symantic errors, perhaps the others.
Also,
Under Intellisense:
Set the appropriate options for how you want it to work.
When done you tab and hit ok on any Tabbed item and all the changes will be
applied. You also should have made other changes to the IDE to make it more
Screen Reader friendly and set each and every window you encounter to a Tabbed
Document if you use that approach.
It has been a long time since I played with the IDE settings, I have them set
the way I like them using Windoweyes and I did not set the CSharp options since
I do not use CSharp anymore.
You should do the following:
Make a change to one or two of the settings at a time. Record the change in a
text document so you can note what it does as you continue working and, or set
everything back if you want to later.
Keep results of each change in the text document for a reference as to what
each setting did when changed.
Send me the text document when done so I can add the results to my docs for
other users downline.
I do not think you will ever totally get rid of the Output Window but you
should be able to work-around it pretty well. I think there are some other
settings that might help but these are the ones I remember by taking a quick
peek at my settings in Visual Web Developer.

Hi Rick,
Can you tell me how to disable the automatic debug window in Visual Studio?
Every time I am trying to type in the code window and I type something VS does
not like it puts the JAWS focus on the debug window. This makes me have to
press control tab back into the code window. Can you help?
Can you email me off line please.

Ask specific questions on what you are trying to do at any given time. To
create a new class you can right mouse click a folder, usually either the
App_Code or the Root Folder, then cursor down to the AddNewItem entry in the
Contextt Menu PopUp and hit enter. A window will come up with allot of items
you can select from and one of them will be a class object. You cursor to the
Class Item in the list, tab to the Name TextBox and change it to the name you
want your class called, pick a language and then I think just tab and click OK
button. Then you will be put into the CSharp Code Editor for the new Class
where you can enter code like Functions, Subroutines and Properties for the
class. There are other ways of adding new classes and other objects to a
project but right mouse clicking is pretty consistent throughout the IDE. Doing
that will usually bring up a Context Menu PopUp with things you can do related
to the item under the mouse pointer when you clicked the right mouse button.
You can use this method to add everything from Databases to new Windows, Files,
Classes and a bunch of other things. What appears in the Context Menu PopUp
will depend on what you have under the mouse pointer. You can also do this
using the selections on the Menu Bar which is dynamic. What appears on the
various menus of the Main Menu Bar will depend on what window is in focus, what
item is highlighted inside the Widnow etc... You can do everything in several
ways in Visual Studio which is good from an accessibility standpoint but can be
confusing to learn at first. I tend to use the Right Mouse Click Method to add
items to my projects when I can since I get very familiar with that Context
Menu PopUp by using it all the time. Well, there are a thousand other tips,
tricks and work-arounds for working in Visual Studio, CSharp, Vb.net and the
other features. Ask for specific help with something if you need it and I will
give you anything I have even though I use Windoweyes and work in Vb.net or
Visual Web Developer with Sql Server rather than in CSharp - the IDE and
concepts are very, very similar.
The only qualifications I might mention is that the newer versions of JAWS
work with WPF and other new Accessibility tools which may make the IDE read
totally diferently than what I hear using Windoweyes which still uses MSAA as
it's primary source of accessibility hooks. It is not cut and dry trying to use
software when you are blind. It is another additional skill set and sometimes a
complex one at that if you need to get into scripting a Screen Reader.
