Hi James,I write my Java code with the Sodbeans IDE developed by Dr. Andreas Stefik. I am now learning Swing using my course textbook. I compared that with online, free resources such as Introduction to Programming Using Java by David J. Eck, and found my course textbook to be the most understandable. I feel like I am getting somewhere now. Finally, while I read your post on SWT, we are not using that in class which is why I have to learn Swing. Either way, I am not having issues.

I will continue studying my Intro to Java Comprehensive textbook as I have. Chapter 12 has a great chapter on Swing which will be used in class. It takes the approach of using Java to code the GUI elements. It doesn't discuss dragging and dropping to build a GUI, so I can follow along with that chapter well. I might search Google and see if I can find a way for the blind to rapidly develop Swing-based GUIs. The Java II class is the only thing I'm worried about, since my professor will be using rapid development techniques so I'm kind of worried that I might get behind by coding a GUI.

Thank you for the pointer to the editor, Alex. I will look into this when I learn wxPython. Do you know of anything like this for Java? I take Java II in the fall at my college, and we will be doing a lot of GUI programming. My professor uses the NetBeans drag and drop tool. I will use Sodbeans, the project developed by Dr. Andreas Stefik.

However, wxPython comes with an editor called XRCed which is mostly useable with jaws and lets you edit XRC pretty easily. XRC is to a gui what css is to a website, sort of. It basically lets you use an xml-like syntax in a .xrc file to define how your gui looks. You then load that xrc when you want to use it with wx.

I know that one can use JAWS scripts with Visual Studio to visually build Windows forms applications, but what about other languages? Thank you, Mike -----Original Message----- From: Harmony Neil Sent: Saturday, July 16, 2011 9:49 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Listbox In Python I've made a listbox which it is possible to get to using the mouse, or route jaws to pc cursor, but I can't get to it just using the normal cursor. When I arrow up and down it just doesn't do anything. I know the only thing I have in the window right now is the listbox, but still ... Can anyone make any suggestions as to how to improve the attached file?
