Hi Jeff,
I got the listview working for my Clipboard app and the problem is what you
get and no object sent in, for the only information given is from the EventInfo
which only tells you who did it.
but will experiment more and set a time element for once out of the event
it can check the focus point.
Now that may be the way to get what you want, for the keyup event is
triggered and once up you can check the status of what transpired, such as new
object focus.
I will lay it out once I get testing, for the ListBox gives better
information then the list view does.

Subject: Re: listbox change
I was unable to get any info while still in the list. I found another way to
do what I wanted.
I added an extra button, made it the default button with enter as its shortcut,
and by pressing enter while still in the list, I can get extra information.
That's not exactly what I wanted, but it's close.
Below is a .vbs and a .xml file showing a simple listbox with 2 buttons.
The files are nameed
DialogListBoxFromScript.vbs
DialogListBoxFromScript.xml
If anybody wants to try to add something to the select case section to
automatically speak additional information when you are just up or down
arrowing through the list, I would certainly appreciate knowing how to do this.
thanks again,
Jeff Weiss

Jeff,
I don't see that you're initializing the variable Temp anywhere, and I also
don't see that you are setting the focusedIndex property of the listbox
anywhere (which is usually done when you add items to the listbox; you usually
set it to 1 when you add your listbox items).
Take out the line:
If fObj("lst").FocusedIndex <> Temp Then
And you should then hear something spoken each time your listbox item is
changed.

Subject: Re: listbox change
Thank you for all of the suggestions.
This is indeed my own xml listbox dialog and I can get the button to work but
not the listbox change to register where I can do something when it changes.
The list works fine and displays 12 spelling words.
Here is the function:
Function DialogEventHandler3(fObj, fEvent, fId, fControl)
DialogEventHandler3 = False
Dim Result : Result = ""
fObj.Control("lst").Width = 200
If fEvent = dialogCreated Then
BuildList fObj, Result
End If
DialogEventHandler3 = False
Select Case fId
Case fId = "lst"
If fEvent = listboxSelectionChange Then
If fObj("lst").FocusedIndex <> Temp Then
Temp = fObj.Control("lst").FocusedIndex
Result = fObj.Control("lst").Text
Speak Result
Speak Temp
Speak "this is a test."
Result = ""
Exit Function
End If
End If
Case "button_MainMenu"
If fEvent = buttonClicked Then
Speak ""
Sleep 200
Speak "Returning to Main Menu"
Sleep 200
fObj.Control("lst").Clear
fObj.Close
DialogEventHandler3 = True
Exit Function
End If
Case Else
If fEvent = dialogCreated Then
DialogEventHandler3 = True
Exit Function
End If
End Select
End Function
I must be missing something here. Please let me know what I am missing here.
thanks
