Hi Donald:
What is being said at the end of the ActiveItemChangedEvent is that
there used to be code here that would perform the processing related to
these controls. Now this processing is being handled by the
SayObjectActiveItem internal function.
Internal means that this functionality is contained within Jfw itself
and that we do not have the source so we cannot see what is being done
there.
I suggest, that you put a SayString above the function call to
SayObjectActiveItem in the default.jss file and then compile it. If you
hear this string spoken when you press the arrow keys while you are
focussed in the list view of your application, then you will know that
the SayObjectActiveItem is the function that you need to modify in your
application scripts.
If this is the case, then you will need to experiment with some of the
lv functions to see if any of those functions will yield the results you
need.
Make sure that you call the SayObjectActiveItem function for controls
that do not meet conditions in your if statement in this function.
Here is the fsdn entry for SayObjectActiveItem.

view, it will say the selected item. In a menu, it will say the active

I guess that I should have stated that I have been using JAWS 10 since
I got
this urge for this project in October. The FocusChngedEvent was very
confusing. I didn't take a lot of time deciphering the function, but I
couldn't figured how it called all these events. Perhaps the calls
that
start with "Process..." have this effect?
I did notice that at the end of the default ActiveItemChangedEvent had
the
following comment:
"; removed code from this spot for special handling of list view items
; in favor of the internal handling using SayObjectActiveItem()"
I don't know what this means and I don't know if this matters?
