Re: [JAWS-Users] scripting a menu
Hi David. Here is a script I wrote using the dlg select function to simulate the different jaws cursors. Perhaps you can get an idea from this. Script cursormenue () var string MyMenu, ; variable to hold menu text. string MenuTitle, ; variable to hold menu title. int index ; integer variable to hold menu numbers. let MenuTitle=Cursor Menu ; assign name . let MyMenu=|Pc cursor+ |Jaws Cursor+ |Rout Jaws To PC+ |Rout Pc To Jaws+ |Rout Pc To Jaws+ |Invisible Cursor+ |Left Mouse Click let index=DlgSelectItemInList(MyMenu,MenuTitle,FALSE) IsSelectItemDlg() ; function to ensure focus is correct If(index==1) Then PerformScript PCCursor() ElIf(index==2) Then PerformScript JawsCursor() ElIf(index==3) Then PerformScript RouteJawsCursorToPc() ElIf(index==4) Then PerformScript RoutePCCursorToJaws() ElIf(index==5) Then InvisibleCursor () Else Say(Menu cancelled.,ot_message) EndIf EndScript -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: 10 July 2009 15:11 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] scripting a menu I'm trying to build a script that displays a menu from which choices can be made as to selecting functions and so forth.

Re: [JAWS-Users] scripting a menu
I sure will give it a shot, thank you. The idea here is to build a menu to select from multiple scripts or functions that I may wish to execute.

Re: [JAWS-Users] scripting a menu
Hi David, Unsure what you want to do and what application you are using. Anyway if it is a non standard window you might want to reclass window to menu in configuration manager. To explore application, Put cursor on window in question, press insert+space bar to turn home row on. you press F3 to get info about window. press f1 to get more info. Press f3 again to class press f1 to get info. press insert+space bar to exit home row utility. Unsure if you know about home row.

Re: [JAWS-Users] scripting a menu
What I am trying to do is create a script that will generate it's own menu like the menu for changing speech engines.
