Hi folks,
Speaking of checkboxes, it'd be really nice if JAWS could show the checkboxes
when Malwarebytes Anti-Malware finds stuff. I had an issue last week where I
was trying to scan, then my friend (also blind), decided to see if he could
have better luck with it. As a result of him not being able to see the file
that Malwarebytes had found and being able to know if it was selected for
removal or not, he accidentally demolished one of the accessible games we like
to play because some Malware scanners flag its files as Trojans. And never
mind the check boxes on that, I can't even read it's listings unless the JAWS
cursor is selected, and even that does not give adequate information. Since I
know a little of the JAWS scripting language, what tactic would be best to get
JAWS to read all of the controls and lists correctly without the use of the
JAWS cursor? By the way, I have contacted Malwarebytes corporation on this
multiple times, and it looks like they don't give two dangs about it. Any
input would be great. And so that you know what I've done so far, I've already
put in to the script two include statements: Include "HJConst.jsh", and include
"HJGlobal.JSH". That has yielded no results.
Thanks and regards,
Katherine

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.

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.
