Hi Dean:
I'll answer your second question first since the question is easier to
answer quickly.
You could try using IsWindowVisible or IsWindowObscured to determine
whether or not to read the window.
Now for the BookPane script.
You open the script with a very complicated nested function call. It's
a bit difficult to get my head around it to determine if the logic is
right. My feeling is that you are trying to do too much within a single
function call. I would suggest braking it up into manageable pieces.
this provides you the opportunity to verify that you are able to obtain
the handle for each window in the function call. This will allow you to
determine if there is a problem with the logic you are using.
I also noticed that the first part of this function call was two
GetNextWindow function calls. This would indicate that you always
expect to be in the same window each time the script is called. You
might want to code some alternative processing if the desired window is
not found.
You should create some handle variables to store the results of these
function calls. Then some sayinteger functions to speak the results of
these function calls. This should help you isolate your problems.

I am trying to work with the SwordSearcher bible software. It has a lot
of
keystrokes built into it but there are things that could be done to
make it
more accessible. One thing is that there are different panes. If you
hit F10
the bible pane is maximized and all other panes are hidden. If F10 is
hit
again the Bible Pane is hidden.
I was trying to get it so that the invisible cursor went to that pane
and
read it when the shortcut key was hit. Sometimes it reads parts of the
parent windows but it never reads the whole pane.
A parent window is the TBiblePane. In home row mode if you go down two
windows, over two windows, down two windows then over two windows you
find
the TPaintPanel which is where the text is. Here is the script I have
written which might read some of the text:
Script BookPane ()
DoAndSayCurrentKeystroke (); function I created that does what it says
JAWSCursor ()
MoveToWindow(GetNextWindow (GetNextWindow (GetFirstChild (GetFirstChild
(GetNextWindow (GetNextWindow (GetFirstChild (GetFirstChild
(FindDescendantWindow (GetAppMainWindow (GetCurrentWindow ()),
id_Bible))))))))))
Delay (5, false)
RouteInvisibleToJAWS ()
InvisibleCursor ()
SetRestriction (RestrictWindow)
SayAll ()
EndScript
It seems like the hierarchy is always there even if the pane is hidden
so I
can't figure out how to tell it when to read and when not to read.
Thanks for all ideas,
Dean
