Yes Jeff I am.
I made a tree view by replacing all my buttons on the dialog page. Each
button would run an app dialog so when clicking on the selection, or hitting
the spacebar, I would like to run it.
As I had attempted to say, then clicking, the click event comes first,
then if any change of the tree view item happens, such as selection, comes
second.
so, clicking on it gets you no where because that item is not yet been
selected. so, using the mousse is almost worthless if you want to use the
click to do 2 things.
I did use the spacebar as a hotkey to run the chosen dialog immediately
on selection since that requires you to first move over the item.
but, the mouse click is the same thing as moving the arrow keys over, or
hitting a shortcut to the item, then tapping on the space bar. I could limit
action for space bar only, but does prevent mouse lovers from using the
mousse for running, selection yes, but not running.
I probably still have answered my own question since the mouse click
would not know that the item has already been selected unless it new what it
was on. Now, the keydown event may resolve this and will check on that after
responded to this post.
Sincerely
Bruce

I believe he is referring to the UI treeview xml element and associated
event handling.

Bruce,
Could you clarify what you're asking? e.g. are you referring to the Tree
View app or WE Event? Each app is designed for its own set of tasks.
Tree View, for example, is designed specifically to make it easy to
interpret window hierarchies, whereas WE Event watches for different
Window-Eyes events (application, keyboard, speech, MSAA, etc).
Regards,
Steve
