Hi Travis:
The trimming code in the function as it happens is not redundant,
because in the first case, the trimming was being applied to the dialog
title. in the second case it was being done to the various control
names in the dialogue. Most of these are edit fields. These controls
also have both English and French text included in their names. As a
result, both sections of code are necessary to provide the braille
output in this dialog.
In another dialog in this application, the controls are all dot net
edit classes. The name properties are empty so I will have to go to the
parent in order to move through the windows at that level to find the
appropriate name field.
Here comes my question.
Will I be able to edit the BrlAddObjectName function I provided earlier
to include the processing for these controls, or does Jaws handle the
braille output for these controls in another way?
These controls have the MSAA role of editable text. They have an
unknown window type so I am not really sure what type of condition I
would need to use to caus jaws to process them correctly.
Do you have any suggestions for me?
Thanks again for all your help.

Hi David,
Glad its working.
In your function, it looks like the string truncation code is
redundant, so you
could fill the string with the correct information, and then do the
truncation
with just one block.
That said, since its working now, its sometimes best to leave well
enough
alone. <smile>

Hi Travis:
Thanks for your response. I did not notice the not in the menusactive
condition. That will teach me to use the all punctuation setting I
guess. It's always good to get a fresh prospective on the logic
though.
I should add however that I took that block of code directly from the
braille.jss file. I assumed that I should leave it in tact in the
brlAddObjectName function. I do not really understand why it was
there.
I ultimately had to remove that code because none of my subsequent
processing was happening.
Now the braille output is working as I want it to. I was able to
remove the brlAddDialogPageName and other brladdObject functions and
do
all of what I wanted in the BrlAddObjectName function.
My current function is as below. Thanks for helping me through this.
int function BrailleAddObjectName (int nSubtypeCode)
var
handle hWnd,
string strNameText,
int iFound,
string sFormTitle
Let hWnd = GetFocus ()
if nSubtypeCode == WT_DIALOG then
let sFormTitle = GetWindowName (GetRealWindow (GetFocus ()))
let iFound = StringContains (sFormTitle, " -")
if iFound then
let sFormTitle = StringLeft (sFormTitle, iFound-1)
endif
BrailleAddString (sFormTitle,0,0,0)
return true
elIf nSubtypeCode == WT_EDIT then
let strNameText = GetWindowName (hWnd)
let iFound = StringContains (strNameText, " -")
if iFound then
let strNameText = StringLeft (strNameText, iFound-1)
endif
BrailleAddString (
strNameText,0,0,0)
Return TRUE
EndIf
return false
endFunction
