Well katherine , try and see if you can find a way to change that setting if needed. You can change between ascii and the utf codes when you read or write a file I think using the StreamReader or StreamWriter objects but I'm not sure about doing it in the IDE itself. Also, the base ascii codes are for English so if you convert them to utf for a foreign language keep that in mind and see if you can find the extensions for that language, if that is how it works.

Thanks. Who knows because the person who told me that is someone whom I canonly trust as far as I can throw him which is nowhere LOL. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of RicksPlace Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 7:49 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: VB.net And Windoweyes Scripting Nope from this old fat blind guy, it would likely be under the options for the editor. You set them by going under the Tools Menu, selecting Options, tabbing to make sure show all is checked in the general tab of the Environment Tab Group. Then you can check out the Text Editor Tab group for C# or perhaps the tabgroup for the Environment group or even the Project Group. I don't recall asetting for utf8, 16 or other such words but I have not done much in C# - just couldn't afford the bottles of Tylonol, grin.

I don'thave a problem with all the curly braces, it's more the automatic doublequotes I have issues with. I heard that shutting off UTF8 will solve thatproblem. Does anyone here know how to actually do that? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of RicksPlace Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2010 5:37 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: VB.net And Windoweyes Scripting Well Katherine, since it sounds like you already have a .net programming background you can develop in any of the languages. I have seen littlediference in the capabilities of Vb.net and C#. C++ on the other hand is a whole other animal. If you try and use c++ in the .net environment you canuse both managed code features and write for non managed features. If you use c++ outside of the .net environment I don't think you can use the managed features of the .net frameworks without jumping through some really complicated hoops. For games I have seen articles by folks who have used all of the languages. C++ gives you the most control over your application while C# and Vb.net are pretty much the same with diferent syntax and typing restrictions. I hate having to mess with all the curly braces in C# as well as some other things I find annoying. I have seen this question asked on list a hundred times and there is no one good answer. If you are comfortable in the .net environment stay there and become an expert in one language. It is not so much which language you use but how well you can use the language. Most modern languages will allow you to do heavy work. The trick is to pick a language and become really good at using it. If you can solve a problem without looking up things you will have more fun than if you have to look up every statement while coding; Or, look up what objects, functions or properties or events to use to do something and then how to use them with parameters, enumerations and correct syntax. If you like .net and have friends who use it stay with it and just start using either C# or C++ if that is your decission. Just get good at what you do and you will be able todo just about anything you can think of in either language, or vb.net forthat matter. One final note, if most of your friends program in onelanguage you might have more fun learning that language so you have thingsto share with them. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it - at least for the moment grin.

Well, I constantly have friends reminding me thatI should focus on other languages too. Take for example, my eventual desire to learn C#. I in no way want to be a programmer for a career, but rather for enjoyment. If so, am I good having C# and JAWS script under my belt to be able to create things like games, and in turn to help the blind communitysucceed with a few extra scripts added in to the mix? Or is it essentialin this world that I learn something like C++ even though C# has it's roots there? Any input would be good.

As far as I remember, the only necessary COM reference in VS would be to WinEyes.dll. VS should then automatically generate an Interop assembly, a "COM Callable Wrapper." There some deployment related issues I can touch on later if you decide to distribute your VB.NET-based Window-Eyes script.
