Hi Paul, The advanced scripting class has only been conducted a handful of times because it is rare to find a group of likeminded people in the same place at the same time that have the capacity to keep up in class and the funding to attend. So, the first challenge would be finding enough people in one area to conduct the advanced class. This should change as Window-Eyes grows in popularity thanks to the partnership with Microsoft and the advances made in Window-Eyes 9. If a class could be setup for you to attend, I do think that you would be able to learn information beyond what was covered in Chip’s awesome classes. The advanced scripting class has been delivered by Doug Geoffray in the past. As you know, he is the lead developer of Window-Eyes and there isn’t anyone on the planet who knows more about the product and its scripting capabilities than him. For anyone who wants to learn how to script and address the most difficult challenges that come up in the real world, this would be an amazing opportunity to interact with the best of the best. Thanks, Marc

I finally finished your interactive classes. You covered the object model well and some available tools. My question to the community is this. Would GW's advance scripting course teach me anything beyond this? Thanks again Chip. A great contribution!

Everything is working fine, and I can use the MyEditBox.Text property, and have some text filled into the editbox. Yet, there seem to exist one small annoyance here. After the editbox has been filled in, the cursor always land at the end of the text. Not a big deal. The user can simply hit Ctrl-Home, and then start to arrow his way down through the box. And if he has set his screen reader correctly, he will have the whole contents read out automatically, once the editbox gets focus. Still, I wonder if there is - or could be made available - a routine for placing the cursor at the top of the text, once the editbox has been filled in and things are ready for reading. many users may not find it very logic to start out at the end of the text. Imagine if you was offered to read a book, and they presented you the back cover first thing. Smile. Any such routine-call existing, or any suggestions for a workaround? OK, I have the idea of one workaround, even if it is a bit simplistic. I could send a Ctrl-Hme command right after the editbox has been getting the focus, but don't know if there is any drawback of doing so. That's why, I wanted to check with other developers what their ideas might be, or if they have fixed it by any means in their coding.
