Think it just uses controls in reference to class types.  BTW, you can
programme up HSC so that it will search for stuff like that.  Never had the
need to do that yet though.

Yeh, I just realized that.

I just figured out how to search for a color with autohot too.

I love both these tools for different reasons, hsc and auto-hot, and
win-eyes hot spot is just about out of the oven, I've been working solidly
with Aaron to help get it done.

Autohot has the advantage of being a pseudo programming language interface
which can really do some powerful stuff at the system level, outside a
screen-reader, but the down side is that it won't talk directly to the
screen-reader so I have to use message boxes and stuff when variables
trigger.

Window-eyes already had setfiles, very powerful with in themselves, with
hyperactive windows and such which can trigger on colors and speak strings,
etc, and integrated with hotspot, really enhances things.

I've been experimenting a bit with the new hsc, and with it's new
capabilities, when we get the bugs worked out it'll be a real winner.

So these are all excellent tools in their own ways.

What I'm doing with auto-hot is using a variable to determine whether the
color matches or not for band on or off, and then displaying a message box,
clunky, but it works.
Thanks for the tip.

What I really love about autohot is the ability to use hotstrings, which by
their nature can be way more numerous and versatile than hotkeys, and the
ability to get directly hold of window controls.

I saw references to push buttons and such in the hsc files, can hsc operate
directly on controls, or does it just use them for reference with class
types?

Unless the controls change, like they are apt to do with silly soundforge eq
sliders, in most cases, if you operate directly on window controls, you can
thumb your nose at display settings, so your positional stuff won't matter,
because the control is called by name.

Window-eyes setfiles are even more vulernable to window changes than hsc is,
but Aaron is implementing some stuff in to hotspot which will make that less
a problem.
