Hi! I will respond to this question in doing it for all. The intellisense has to be turned off. You can not run it for it changes the screen and Windoweyes does not like rapid dynamics, as if any program/app would. So when attempting to keep up it can even lock up. So you have to turn

Hi. What did you do to Visual Studio 2013 to make it work? I am finding that intellisense does not work, and if I press tab it goes to some strange place and the end key goes to another file. I can certainly read the actual code. I am using c# rather than vb.net. What options did you change to

Hi Guys: Let me reiterate there is no indication of VBScript going away in the immediate future. There are also several good options currently available for alternative languages of choice under the current com model. There are no plans by GW to replace the defacto language of choice at this time.

Hi Bruce: Visual Studio or any of the free modules have to be setup for accessibility with a screen reader. That said it works quite well once setup and the rather large learning curve is mastered. I use vb.net 2013 for Desktop with few problems with WindowEyes out of the box except with the forms

Hi, Rick. As mentioned, Microsoft themselves relies on the language quite heavily. We won't find ourselves in a situation where it's suddenly no longer supported. It's too widely used in too many markets. They would have to deal with the uproar that would occur from every IT department in exist

Hi Aaron: VBScript is still in wide use indeed from what I have read. I am thinking downline a few years and I did read where Microsoft had a desire to get away from vb script.

You know, I think the scripting engine of Window-Eyes is going to be just fine. I'm sure one can just switch to his/her language of choice and still be fine, since Window-Eyes is COM-based, which makes it pissible to program in any language that supports COM automation. On 9/12/14, Jeff Weiss wro

Before this gets too carried away, understand that Microsoft removed VBScript support in Internet Explorer only. They did not remove scripting support, nor do they have plans to remove scripting support, from the operating system itself. Again, Microsoft is not abandoning VBScript; it's use is t
