I must have missed something here, I thought the control ID was a constant. The
window handels are dynamic. That is why you must use the GetWindow() or GetFocus()
functions to get the window handel. Maybe someone could put me strait on which
function to use and when?
When I need to get the control ID I usually use something like this:
GetControlID(GetFocus())
or something like that.
Now if I want a promt to speak when I move to some control ID I might put the logic in
the FocusChangedEvent() function. For example, if the control ID for the last name
is 123, then somewhere in the focusChangedEvent I would put:
if GetControlID(GetFocus()) == 123 then
SayString("Last name")
endif
Hope this helps.

Hello.
I can only think of one way to do what you are asking without actually
checking and testing for the field label. Each control has a unique handle,
but this handle may not be the same each time the window is created. You
could have your JFW script, with the invisible cursor active, go to the
first control and go through each control in the client window assigning
each in a series of variables with the unique window handle. You could then
refer to each control by it's handle. You would have to be sure that your
script reset itself each time the window was created though since the
handles value can change from one time to the next.
Maybe there is an easier way, but I don't know of one.
