Hi Janne, Rather than the AddHookFunction, which I think may not be suited for your purpose, consider the following.
If you simply want a script to stop part way through, so you can examine the screen contents at that point, insert the following line at the point in your script where you want it to stop. IF 1 THEN RETURN ENDIF; for testing only and semi colon out the line when not needed. If you want to examine the contents of some variables part way through a script, and perhaps after continueing the scripts operation for some more lines, then again look at the variable values, try the following method. Just call this function from where you want to check the values... Note. in the below sample copied from one of my script sets, the variables are integers, but you can soon simplify it for strings. It uses the virtual buffer, but instead, you could use the MessageBox function passing in, CurrentValues. include "common.jsm" ; for virtual buffer... Function ListVariables () ; lists the current value of particular variables. Used for debugging VAR STRING CurrentValues ; Note the \N causes a new line, otherwise it would all be on 1 line LET CurrentValues = "CharWidth = " + IntToString (G_CharWidth) + "\NOnePoint5CharSquared = " + IntToString (G_OnePoint5CharSquared) + "\NRowHeight = " + IntToString (G_RowHeight) + "\NHalfRowHeight = " + IntToString (G_HalfRowHeight) + cScBufferNewLine + cScBufferNewLine + cMsgBuffExit If UserBufferIsActive () then UserBufferDeactivate () EndIf Pause () SayFormattedMessage (OT_USER_BUFFER, CurrentValues) EndFunction As mentioned in an earlier post, the JawsScripting list may be a better forum for this type of enquiry... Regards, Paul from Aust. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Datapunkt Info" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello list. I am new to this list. I am interested in script programming and have a question. In a script I am writing on, i need the script to just stand still and check my keyboard entries an compare them to different string variables. I think that the AddHook () would be the thing to use. I have read the documentation and have looked at it in the default.jss file but i can't really understand it. If anyone on this list can make my small brain to understand how to use it, please help me.
