Thanks, this seemed to help some. It has not fixed all my problems, vut it
is vetter. I will save this for future reference as well. It is a little
hard to debug with so many events.Today I tried to remove the need for
frames and switch scripts that get called from my own WindowActivatedEvent
function. If I get this working properly, I want to put part of this script
in a similar function in the default script file, so I will get notified by
itscustom "HelpBaloon".
Right now, I have to press the KeyPad + to force the PCCursor back on after
each time I use the down arrow in a custom list view I am trying to tame.
If I don't, it seems to have the JAWSCursor active, and does not get events
from ActiveItemChangedEvent. There must be something funky I am doing
within my ActiveItemChanggedEvent. I had no idea that my application
woulduse MSAA at all, buut I followed a previous suggestion on this list and
it worked! I have not investigated how to use MSAA any further at this
point.
Bless the list for its help.
