Depending on the application (and if you're using JAWS 15+, of course), it may
support UIA such that you can gain a control reference for the InvokePattern
and trigger the desired "normal action" directly, rather than having JAWS
simulate the hardware mouse click in its standard way. The standard mouse click
action is usually mapped as the default InvokePattern in UIA, I believe. MSAA
provides accDoDefaultAction() method for similar utility, if you're dealing
with something older like a pre-Vista winform app or an older JAWS version. If
you're dealing with something HTML based, or the control is part of an embedded
browser object, you can achieve similar results with a synthetic DOM click
event.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Control Left Mouse Clicks
Hey guys,
I have this script that is doing things in response to key combinations like
control+LeftArrow. Part of the processing for that was to do a left
control+mouse
click at a location. But, since the control key is still down when the script
runs, it is also down when jaws does the leftMouseButton call.
Problem is that the application is sometimes getting a control left click,
instead of a straight left click.
If I wait for the control key to be released first, the interface is clunky,
but the problem goes away.
Is there a better way to send a mouse click to that window that might obviate
the confusion?
I'm thinkin of a SendMessage or PostMessage call. But, I don't know where to
find what message to send.
Thanks heaps for any help you can give.
