Is Jaws recognizing the control as a checkbox? If not, You can try to reclassify the control with the window reclassification assignment functionality. You should take a look at this using the jaws homerow functionality to see if the name or type of control is being reported. Also try looking at the MSAA properties using the f9 and f10 keys. You should find a section in the basics of scripting manual which discusses the homerow mode and how to use it. This topic can be found in the book called Windows program structure. There is also a topic on reassigning window classes. If you are using Jaws 11, the keystrokes for activating homerow mode have changed. if you are using Jaws 11, the new key assignment is: JawsKey+control+- on the number pad. for earlier versions of jaws, use JawsKey+space. >>> Gayathri Gopalakrishnan <ggayathri@xxxxxxxxxx> 02:00 am Thursday, May 06, 2010 >>> Hi, JAWS is not reading the checkbox objects at all. Neither the lable, nor the state of the checkbox. Please help me how that can be achieved.
