[jawsscripts] Application doesn't receive some keyboard input

Hi,
 

I am writing a Windows MFC application using Visual C++ and its
corresponding JAWS script. The application processes user input from the
keyboard that it detects using DirectInput keyboard device methods. I am
testing the application with JAWS 9.0 and have encountered the following
problem: when JAWS is running the application doesn't receive (or detect)
certain keyboard input such as the arrow keys or the "six group keys" (Home,
PageUp, PageDown, End, Delete, and Insert). The detection of other keyboard
keys continues to work without any problem when JAWS is running.

 

I have tried to attach a script to the arrow keys. For example, I tried to
override the SayNextLine script for the DownArrow key and then use TypeKey
from within this script. However, while the script does execute and the
TypeKey command works, the application doesn't detects the input of this
key, even if I send "b" for example.

 

I need some way for my application to receive the input, whether through a
JAWS script or some other solution.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Shmuel
