Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the idea of the event scheduling. I went through a bit of the
default.jss file and found that the ScheduleFunction() function makes it
possible to do it. Now it seems that I can nest as many levels as I want.
But unfortunately, this solution is quite primitive for me. It was good
for me to do a prototype, but the final solution must be written in VB
as a reusable COM DLL. Using JFWApi I can call any script which are
loaded and can manage the information gathered from the JSD and JKM
files in a more elegant way than this. The user interface not mentioned.
There it is possible to use a treeview control for groupping and this
interface makes possible that user edits the whole hierarchy, ie. the
groups and the group items.
What I need is a generalized framework which implements the whole
functionality of the Keyboard Manager and extends it with some
functionality of the Script Manager, and adds some new one, too. And
this solution should work with many JAWS versions from 9 to 14. Because
many company user in Hungary uses even the version 9. Unfortunately not
all versions are localized. Olny version 9, 11 and 14 is translated.
