Hi Bryan,
I'm not sure this is exactly what you're looking for, but it's the guts
of a vbs file that I found recently while Googling for something else.
It uses WMI to find all instances of Internet Explorer currently running
on your own machine.
If you twist Jamal's arm, you may be able to get him to integrate this
seamlessly into JAWS Script code.
Here it is anyway:
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set colProcesses = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'iexplore.exe'")
WScript.Echo "Number alive: " & colProcesses.Count
For Each proc in colProcesses
WScript.Echo "Handle: " & proc.Handle
WScript.Echo "Process ID: " & proc.ProcessID
Next
I don't think any lines have wrapped, but caveat emptor...
Martin

Subject: Stumped: JAWS GetObject function for current browser window?
Are there any JAWS scripters or Windows API programmers out there that can
help me figure this problem out?
I need to create an object that reflects the current browser instance
within a script, but am having trouble figuring out how to do this. For
instance...
var object BrowserInstance
let BrowserInstance = GetObject("NoIdeaWhatToPutHere...")
Specifically, I need to retrieve the currently running instance of
Internet Explorer7, as it appears when currently running.
The object type that I need to return is the Internet Explorer IDispatch
object for the running application, which I asume would be properly named
within the Windows Running Object Table.
If I could get the name for the instance of IE7 as listed in the Windows
Running Object Table, presumably I could use the GetObject function
successfully to retrieve this object.
Do you have any ideas how I might be able to do this? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks, and best wishes,
Bryan Garaventa
