Hi Kevin,
I think this is an amazing undertaking, and what a beautiful gift to those
who will use it. I'm pushing 50 myself, and just a newbie in app
development, having just released my first app with a dialog box, i.e.,
RodMasterVolumePresetRotator. Regardless of the suffering apps give us,
though, certainly the goal we're seeking really makes us better people just
by trying. Good for you in being able to make some good come of your
skills. :)
All the best for the long weekend and beyond,
Rod Hutton :)

Subject: Re: Question: Window-Eyes and .NET.
I appreciate that a lot. If I may, I will share a little bit about
my app. It will contain multiple windows for editing and storage of
equations in an equation basket, using the fruit basket idea. The text
editor part of it will act as the Perkins Braille writer. Users will
be able to specify a number of characters to scan for, then when it
reaches the end of the line, it will either speak or play a sound,
just like the mechanical machine. Then, the user can choose to align
or not align the math problem. In this way, students who go to public
high schools or a college may turn in their work without the
time-consuming task of translations from Braille to print. I am also
building a DLL so that the program can have commands for Braille
translations to make use of Braille displays and less paper. The new
Window-Eyes, with Eloquence and the Newance voices make it an ideal
and professional tool for this program. Though I have lots of
mountains to climb and debug, it's still something to shoot forI
figured.

No need to feel you're bothering too much -- this is precisely what this
particular list is for. :)

Finally, it worked!!!!
Thanks a lot for the support. I had to play around with the syntax
though. It turned out that the compiler wouldn't take speech = new
application.Speech();
Instead, it wanted speech = application.Speech;
I though that was really strange, since normally you see objects
beeing initialized with their constructor methods.
The rest of the code worked though. Thanks. And, my appologies for
bothering too much.

Kevin,
I see. So all you're wanting in this case is to make Window-Eyes speak
something when an event occurs in your program? If so, then this is
doable from .net. Assuming you have added a reference to WindowEyes.dll
in your project, add this to the top line of your main application:
using WindowEyes;
Then, in the initial class declaration:
private Application application;
private Speech speech;
In the form load, do this:
application = new WindowEyes.Application();
speech = new application.Speech();
Finally, whenever you want Window-Eyes to say something, just call
speech.Speak("Hi there.");

I don't think I do. I only need Window-Eyes to speak when a property
on my EditingWindow form is declared.
I will provide some C# code if I may:
// This form is called from an MDI form
// which I call ParantForm:
public class EditingWindow : Form
{
public bool SubscriptMode {get; set; }
// When a hotkey is pressed, this property is set to either true or
false.
}
So, I'm not sure if that would be considered .NET specific.
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,
Unless you are wanting to call specific methods of the .net framework,
you don't need to worry about it at all. Are you needing to do
something
.net-specific?

Thanks to everyone for your answers. However, I guess I didn't
explain myself on something. I have looked at VB Script's syntax, Chip
Orange's classes, Jamal's tutorials, MSDN's VB Script guide and the
Windoew-Eyes developer manual. Still, I have a bit of a problem. I
hear that one has to somehow configure a .NET assembly to be called
from VB Script, in order to be recognixed by Com. There is where I am
confused, and I can't seem to wrap my head around.
Has someone had the opportunity to write Com Scripts that interact
with .NET applications?

And here's a link to the greatest script ever written; Immediate mode
window. It allows you to pop up a window, write bits of code, and
execute them in real time. It's both a great learning tool and an
amazing workhorse for real projects.

Hi Kevin:
There is a complete introduction series on VBS scripting (Audio
Files)
created by Chip Orange available.
They will take you through most of the basics but you will need to
also
do a little homework concerning programming using VBScript syntax -
the
actual statements like variables, looping and tables and all that
jazz.
I am not sure wwhere the archived audio tutorials are but Chip did
them
online for us and they are very good.
Ask and someone will give hyou the link to where they are located
and
I
think they are a good place to start to get a very clear overview of
the
scripting process using VBS.

Dear Steve,
Thank you for your answer. How would I do this through VB
Script,
since that seems to be the easiest way to program for Window-Eyes?
I
actually have looked at the examples that you have provided, but
sadly, I don't understand the code completely.
Thanks
Kevin Morales

Kevin,
Yes; this can be done either natively in Window-Eyes via VBScript
or
JScript, or if you prefer, .net or any other external language
which
supports COM automation. If .net is your proverbial cup of tea,
then
the
VB and C# examples at
https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/Developers/
should be enough to get you started.

Steve

Dear GW-Scripting List Members,
I am a beginner in programming and I happened to be stuck.
I am building a .NET application with Visual C# 2012 for desktop.
I want my application to use Windoe-Eyes to do the following:
1. Generate a set file for the application.
2. Add dictionary entries for the symbols ^, / and *, along with
a
few
words too.
3. Then, I want the user to press a hotkey and hear if subscript
mode
is on or off.
4. Lastly, I also want the user to press a hotkey so that
Window-Eyes
can pause while dictating a Mathematics problem.
Is all or most of this even possible, given that .NET has a lot
of
security and given that .NET is "managed"?
If so, can someone give me some guidance as to how to do this?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Kevin Morales
