I have no problems with reading urls or other stuff in the history of messages by just shift-tabbing en arrowing up and down. Greetz Davy

Bahr On 3/14/2011 7:53 AM, Aaron Smith wrote: Dave, F6 to the history window, arrow to the URL, and press enter. There's no need to select and paste, nor use the mouse. This functionality has existed in Windows Messenger for some time. Aaron On 3/14/2011 9:48 AM, Dave bahr wrote: Well that just makes me want to switch back to wlm 14, if that's the case. So as of right now if I wanted to click on a url I would need to paste the conversation into notepad and then copy the url from there? Doing control shift right and left arrow on the url selects it a chunk at a time in wlm 2011, and shift up or down arrow only selects a part of it, not the whole thing, in the history window. Is there another way to simulate a left click somehow? Dave C. Bahr On 3/14/2011 6:16 AM, Aaron Smith wrote: Yes. We're just talking about mouse navigation.

That means that there is no OSM for Window-Eyes to use to position the mouse around the window. As this technology becomes more prevalent, there will be less of an OSM for Window-Eyes to use. You will find the same drawback in Internet Explore 9, as it also uses DirectUI. We will be trying to work around these issues as time goes on; we recognize the importance of being able to review the screen with the mouse. But as this technology progresses, relying on mouse navigation may become a secondary option. Aaron On 3/14/2011 2:15 AM, Dave bahr wrote: Hi all, yet again. Apologies for posting so often. When I try to read the history window in windows live messenger 2011 with the numbpad, all i can read is the menu bar at the top of the screen. I like being able to read the window to click on urls people send me instead of trying to copy bits at a time. So right now all I see is the conversation name and the menu bar, file, edit, action, tools, help. I have tried maximizing the window, no luck. When I route the pointer, the mouse says,"pointer routed to edit box." and then I am placed immediately in the input box and still unable to read the history window. -- Aaron Smith Web Development * App Development * Product Support Specialist GW Micro, Inc. * 725 Airport North Office Park, Fort Wayne, IN 46825 260-489-3671 * gwmicro.com To insure that you receive proper support, please include all past correspondence (where applicable), and any relevant information pertinent to your situation when submitting a problem report to the GW Micro Technical Support Team.
