Hi David,
I'm assuming, without knowing how your application works, that the whole string
you want is in the title of the window. According to my memory,
GetRealWindowName would get you the whole string. Is there anything in the
string that you can rely on to tell you when the French starts? If so, you
might be able to use one of the functions that find things in strings or string
segment functions to extract one part of the string. After you have the right
string, what did you want to do with it in Braille?
Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I'll look at that and let you know if that solves
the problem.

Its possible that BrailleAddObjectDlgText() is also being called and
picking up more of the static text of the window...
After that I'd override the other BrailleAddObject* functions such as
BrailleAddObjectName() handling the dialog window type until the culprit
is found.

Subject: [jawsscripts] braille How can I shorten the text in window
titles?
I am scripting an application which often displays both English and
french text in the title text of the application realwindow titles.
I want to remove the French text from the end of these strings so that
it will not take up so much space on the braille display.
I cannot figure out which of the braille functions that I will have to
change to get this working.
I have tried modifying the BrailleAddObjectDlgPageName and this will
display the shortened text string, but the longer string also appears
on
the display as well. Can anyone help?
