The NStableView object needs to implement cut/paste capability. Once
that's done, all tables (or list views as they're sometimes called)
would automatically become vo compatability. This is something that
needs done at the api level. If apple adds that feature, then vo
users (as well as everyone else) would be able to move things around
in a table. Regular sighted folks can do it now, simply by dragging
items around. We can't do that. I've been experimenting with code
to try to emulate a drag and drop operation, but haven't gotten it to
work just yet. The basic premace is simple enough, but pretending to
be dragging isn't as simple *grumble*
Perhaps if I knew how to insert events into the cue, I could emulate
a drag operation that might work reliably.
But, it's certainly possible if done by apple, perhaps they could
just give vo that capability, then a lot more things besides table
views would be able to have things done (putting urls in the doc
anyone?)
although, that's another thing I've been fiddling around with and
getting nowhere. <sigh. Too much experimenting, and very little results.
Well, knowledge is power, eventually I'll know all the ways something
can't be done. process of elimination. *grin*

Ah, ok so what we need to do is convence those Apple engineers to
implement a means to move these connections around in some fashion.
This is where a "cut and paste" feature might be handy in VO. If
any of you programming types out there have any suggested
solutions, pass them along and I'll be happy to submit them to
Apple. This entire deal wold be applicable on a laptop more so
perhaps than a machine.
tnx

By default, the mac will connect (or attempt to) to the first
network in your connection list. This is where the sighted person
comes in. If you've got multiple networks (like I do) you need to
drag the wireless connection to the top of the table. Then,
whenever you reboot the mac, it will loginto the first network in
the list. It works for me, and still allows me to use the mac as
a gateway for 3 other machines connected to a hub, and the hub is
connected to the lan port of the mini. Works like a charm. Of
course, the setup is a pain in the butt, but once it's setup, it
works considerably well.
If you have the gateway configuration tool, it will help make the
configuration a whole lot easier. Of course, I didn't know this
until after I'd done my configuration the first time. Even the
gateway setup didn't do all the work, I still needed to fiddle
with connection settings on the other machines a bit, but at least
it works now all the time.
Apple sure did a nice job with that proggy.

Folks, got a question. I recently was looking for a way to make
it possible for my Macs to connect to my AirPort Extreme
automatically upon login. I spoke to Apple Care on this
extensively and what we ended up doing was to delete any and all
connections my Macs had previously connected to in order to force
it to connect to the only network available. Does anyone know of
a means to accomplish this without having to remove those
additional networks? I doubt it as he did a fair amount of
research, but I'm curious. This idea was to make it easier for my
wife so she wouldn't have to type in the shared key each time she
logged in.
Any thoughts appreciated.
