Congrats Rod and continually producing ever more sophisticated apps, and thanks 
for your kind words.

 

Really, it’s not me you need to tell though, it’s other blind users; they need 
to know what’s possible with Window-Eyes, and to be helped to consider 
purchasing it for themselves to make the switch.

 

If you think scripting (like I do) is so important, point them to the scripting 
audio classes and try to get them to give a listen.  If you think it’s the 
support from the owners and developers of the company, then tell them so and 
perhaps get them to sign up for the info mailing list.

 

I think we all need to spend just a little time on other mailing lists to help 
other blind users know they have better choices than 3-day-old (copy-protected) 
fish!  <grin>

 

Thanks again Rod,

 

Chip

Subject: RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 2.0 Released! :)

 

Hi everyone! Smile

 

I would like to let everyone know about a landmark event for me – the creation 
of my first app with an actual dialog box, namely, RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 
2.0! Smile

 

The last dialog box I created was 22 years ago, using WordBasic, which was part 
of Microsoft Word 2.0.  Back then, I had sight, and I designed a dialog box an 
the code for printing odd and even pages of a document because, at that time, 
this feature did not come with this version of Word.  Anyway, the dialog box I 
designed worked great, but, alas, went the way of the dodo bird, since upgrades 
made all my work pretty irrelevant.  But, it had been fun, and gave me a boost 
of confidence. Smile

 

Well, warp speed 22 years into the future, and with GW Micro’s UI Design app, 
and with the wonderful help of Chip Orange and his amazing classes and 
examples, I finally got the chance to design another dialog box, learned how to 
write a dialog event handler, and put a neat little dialog into one of my apps. 
 See the app in action yourself by downloading RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 2.0 
using AppGet, or use this URL:

I have also updated my RodMasterVolumeControlSuite to version 2.0 to include 
the update of RodMasterVolumePresetRotator, and the URL is:

My sincere thanks to GW Micro for their wonderful screen reader, Window-Eyes, 
for their essential app designing tools like WE Script Framework and UI Design, 
and a heartfelt bear-hug to Chip Orange, who has been a mentor in my quest to 
use my PC to its utmost potential as a servant of humankind! Smile

 

My best to everyone in their personal quests, and have a restful weekend! Smile

 

Cheers,

 

Rod Hutton Smile
