Steve,
I assume you are talking about the Database form view?
I have written some scripts for Works 4 to run with JAWS version 3.0083 so have
some experience with Works and to be honest, I have completely ignored the
database. I found that in previous versions it was one of the weakest parts of
Works so moved to a different database program and concentrated on the
spreadsheet and wordprocessor.
Anyway, I had a look at the database this evening. Assuming you do not already
have a SayHighLightedText function in your script, copy the following lines
into your Works script:
Void Function SayHighLightedText (handle hwnd, string buffer)
if (GetWindowClass (GetFirstWindow (GetCurrentWindow ()))) ==
"MSWorks4.Doc.Database" then
RouteJAWSToPc ()
JAWSCursor ()
SayToCursor ()
PcCursor ()
SayString(buffer)
ELSE
SayString(buffer)
EndIf
EndFunction
Essentially, this script moves the jaws cursor to the pc cursor and reads any
text that is to the left. Bearing that in mind, it is essential that you place
all your fields in one column with the label to the left of the data field.
Having said that, it may be possible to move the jaws cursor into a label area
and use the getchunk function to isolate a label from other text on the same
line.
If you do have a say highlighted text function you will have to figure out
where this statement can go within the function
Just in case your interested, my scripts do not work with ver 3.2.
Hope it helps,
Daine

Hi,
I urgently need to create a script to enable feild names to be spoken
when tabbing around fields in Works 4. Can someone tell me how
this can be done, or even better, does anyone have any scripts that
they have already created for use with Works. Any help would be
gratefully received.
Cheers, Steve.
