Using JAWS 16, Win7, 64-bit, my system replicates Mike's experience. I can even elaborate. If you keep the control and JAWS keys held down and release and press F2 repeatedly, you cycle through four things: current parent window, prior window, next window, then child window, back to parent. As with Mike, the parent window item strung together a long series of numbers and letters that means nothing to me.
Ann is correct, of course. Control-JAWS key+F1 speaks the window class. In fact, I just had the bright idea of going into key identifier mode, which confirms everything written here. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson via Jfw Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2014 9:10 PM To: Mike B.; The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Re: How to Determine What "Window Class" Has Been Assigned? Mike, Interesting. With JAWS 16 and Windows 7 32-bit on my machine, Insert+Ctrl+F2 does absolutely nothing. I jettisoned JAWS 13 a while ago so can't test that with Windows 7. Hopefully you got the information you needed, in any case.

Hi Bill & Dave, With XP & J13 I got the same information as I did with Windows7 Pro & j16, which is: With Insert, Control, + F1 = Windows Technical Information Insert, Control, + F2 = Parent window There was some extra jibberish that I couldn't capture in virtual view but, it seems that both keystrokes work providing info that varies a little bit. I don't know if others get different info or none at all but, I can only comment on what's happening at my end. Wishing y'all the Very Merriest of Christmas' & the Happiest of New Years. Take care.

I just tried JawsKey plus Control plus F2, and it gave me the various window classes for the application I was using.
