Hi Kevin,
Yes maybe less code but not really since either case is just a simple
call, such as execute hotkey...
I was trying to find the information that gives the names of controls
but could not find any. All it does is spit out the name such as Edit Box
and gives you no code value for it. I tried using the role value but edit
boxs are ignored, along with many other controls...
Sincerely
Bruce

Hi Bruce:
I just tested the ActiveSettings.General.Browsemode and you can turn
it on and of, thus you wouldn't have to fire the hotkey.
I think I would have to write less code, although I could be wrong.
