3-day-old fish? Ha! You win the golden harpoon award for that one, Chip.
And I'm sure you'll be proud to pin the illustrious pure imitation
bronze harpoon with a pseudo-silver shark hanging limply off of it onto
your lapel.
And congratulations to you, Rod, for jumping back in after that brief
little sabbatical. grin.
Good luck,
Tom

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

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

I have also updated my RodMasterVolumeControlSuite to version 2.0 to
include the update of RodMasterVolumePresetRotator, and the URL is:
https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/Apps/App_Details/?scriptid=1389
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
