Dennis,
I sent this direct but it got bounced back so i hpe you se this here.
Sorry for the delay, been having some computer troubles here and am thinking
about doing a clean install. But I really don't feel like it.
Anyway, one more dumb question. Have you also tried changing the Search for
Prompt setting in the Advanced settings section of configuration manager?
Outside of that I would work on a script using SayFocusedWindow().
Copy the SayFocusedWindow() script from below into your Quickbooks script.
That should be triggered each time you move fields.
Are the field names always in the same place in relation to the field? If so
you could trim out the un-needed stuff below.
Not knowing the screen I can not be too helpful so I am writing this kind of
out of my head and am not sure if it is all correct but give it a try.
Void Function SayFocusedWindow ()
;This should work around the field to find a prompt
RouteJAWSToPc ()
JAWSCursor () ;Make the JAWS cursor the active cursor, just to be sure it
really is active
SayString("Prior line") ;simply a verbal notification to tell you what part of
the script jaws is processing
PriorLine () ;moves cursor up one line
IF (GetWord () !="") Then ;if there is text there
SayWord() ;You could also try Say Chunk or Say field
PcCursor ()
SayWindowTypeAndText (GlobalFocusWindow)
Return
else
RouteJAWSToPc ()
EndIF
SayString("Next Word")
NextWord ()
IF (GetWord () !="") Then ;if there is text there
SayWord() ;You could also try Say Chunk or Say field
PcCursor ()
SayWindowTypeAndText (GlobalFocusWindow)
Return
else
RouteJAWSToPc ()
EndIF
NextLine ()
IF (GetWord () !="") Then ;if there is text there
SayWord() ;You could also try Say Chunk or Say field
PcCursor ()
SayWindowTypeAndText (GlobalFocusWindow)
Return
else
RouteJAWSToPc ()
EndIF
SayString("Prior Word")
PriorWord ()
IF (GetWord () !="") Then ;if there is text there
SayWord() ;You could also try Say Chunk or Say field
PcCursor ()
SayWindowTypeAndText (GlobalFocusWindow)
Return
else
RouteJAWSToPc ()
EndIF
EndFunction
If that does not work, it is also possible to get the X and Y coordinates of
the PC cursor for each field and use them to activate a say string with the
correct field name in it but that is much more work to write.
Or, perhaps you have already gotten more expert help
