Another thing that worked for the window that does not show for the context
menu was to go to the Source item under the View menu. Take a peek at the
source code and then close the Code window. After that I guess it forces a
screen refresh because the help content and all the links are then in the Help
browser. but, using the Redraw Screen command is cleaner and makes more sense.

Yeah, that "waiting for on-line docs pretty much turned me to Google! I
thought something was broken with my installation or settings. It makes sense
that the screen readers don't easily see the updated page. I am glad you are
cracking this vault of information.
After I sent the last message, I found out that particular setting about
symantic errors is not available for Visual Basic.

OK, that setting seems like it will turn off the BackgroundCompiler that runs
all the time popping up messages you don't really want. I had tried to figure
out how to turn it off in Vb.net but I do not think there is a way. That might
be a very big help and might even help keep the bloody Error Window from being
such a problem from time to time. I think that will help allot to keep your
work in the editor clean.
Try making an intentional typeing error for a keyword. Then if the error does
not cause a problem, bring up the Error Window from under the View menu to see
if your intentional error is listed. If so you are in great shape. If not you
would have to click build to get the errors I think. I am still trying to get
the blasted Context Help to read consistently. I think I have a trick that will
make it work on a sconsistent basis if it does not work the first try. Ya, If
the help details don't come up but just a blurb about waiting for online docs,
the help is likely there and readable with the mouse. To get it to read with
the cursor and have the links on the Help Page in the Help Browser work, I just
view the source code from under the View menu, close the Code Window and the
Help Browser seems to have been refreshed with the Help Detail contents and
links.

Thanks again for these workshops. While following your C Sharp IDE
settings, I think I found the setting to turn off what was annoying me most
while attempting to learn Visual Basic. In your instructions it says "Show
Live Symantic Errors is unchecked.".
I hope this is talking about the immediate errors that want to warn you
that there is no "End If" as soon as you type in "If". There is also a setting
to limit the error window, but it's setting is only temporary. I am hoping
this reduces my annoyance while typing.

Subject: WinformBasics - IDE Accessibility Option Settings
Here are the first tutorials. They are how I set up the IDE for
Accessibility with Windoweyes.
Ask any questions you have about particular settings. That is what this
series is all about - Sharing questions, answers and applying the groups
knowledge and experience. When all the ideas have been discussed and questions
answered we will move on to the next tutorial on creating the WinformBasics
project using the IDE.
One note, if you use JAWS get the Scripts installed. Another point for JAWS
users is to turn off the thingy that displays Unlabeled Graphics in JAWS.
Another fellow was getting allot of noise from JAWS reading unlabeled graphics
making his IDE quite messy to navigate so he turned that feature off in JAWS.
Finally, I am new to CSharp and the IDE settings are diferent so if you see
something I have set that could be better let me know. I will do some reading
on particular settings as they come up during the project. I have not used
Intellisense much so those settings will likely change in CSharp when I try
them out.
Again, ask questions so we can discuss the settings and use the cumulative
brain power of the group to answer questions before moving on to creating the
actual project. We can not deal with every setting but there are settings
applicable to accessibility and we can research those and some others if anyone
has a question not answered in my rather short and non explanitory tutorials on
this subject.
Happy Programming All!
