Chip and Kevin,
this was the simple test I did at the time. this also works in the MS
Word in which the name is what you get when entering the ribbon and the role
is what the object is like a drop down or something.
It works nice for ribbons but of course very limited but at least a quick
test.
I placed the parens around the name and role i the second sub to attempt to
cut down long phrases and break it up to who goes with who.
This first sub I toggle on and off using a hotkey when wanting to test
things.
Sub Activate_Read()
'Manually toggle a ribbon style program if it is the active application.
If myMSAAConnection = 0 Then
set oActiveWindow = activeWindow.overlap
dim oTest
Set oTest = ActiveWindow.Children
Set oActiveChildren = oActiveWindow.children
' Filter MSAA events for only this process
myMSAAEvents.Process = oActiveWindow.Process
On Error GoTo 0
' handle all MSAA event types
myMSAAConnection = ConnectObject( myMSAAEvents, "myMSAA_")
Silence
Speak " Ribbon Monitoring Is Turned On! "
Else
Disconnect myMSAAConnection
myMSAAConnection = 0
On Error Resume Next
Set oActiveWindow = Nothing
Set oTest = Nothing
Silence
Speak " Ribbon Monitoring Is Shut Off! "
End If
End Sub
Sub myMSAA_OnObjectFocus( oFocused)
' event handler
' called when MSAA signals some text is focused.
On Error Resume Next
If Not oFocused Is Nothing Then
' sort out what to speak and when.
Speak oFocused.Name
Speak " Control ID: ("
Speak oFocused.ChildID
Speak ") "
If Not oFocused.Role Is Nothing Then
Speak " Role: ("
Speak oFocused.Role
Speak ") "
End If
Set oRole = Nothing
End If
On Error Goto 0
End sub

good for you bruce. working in immediate mode I got some results like this,
but didn't have the time I wanted to work with it.
I too sent them a message, both telling them of the issues, and asking for a
longer demo so I could do more work on it, and got no response on my
request.

Hi Kevin,
Yes, so I thought, the so called demo of 30 days lasted a week. But, I
did write a short app to display the field data and was easy to do using the
focus event.
It crashed only at the Home ribbon when attempting to tab into it. I
sent a message to them on it and what I was using. I have not heard back
after they forwarded the issue to there research department.
The ribbon is easy to move around in capturing the data and speaking the
text fields.
What I did is no where perfect on it, but it worked at least saying
which tab you were in. If I had done more event checks I probably could have
gotten more information but did not have the time to do it.
I had posted what I did on the list back then. At the moment that
program is not loaded any more since it's free time expired.
