Hi John,
Thank you for your application. When I'm done, I'll live with the help
offered. I'm almost ready with the "JAWS Script Only" version, which is
a general ini based framework for a "Command Center". With this version
you can do the following things:
- Inserting text into the active document. The textlines could be
parametered and these will be asked during the insertion process trough
input boxes. You need only to define the text to insert and the
parameters into the ini file.
- Starting any custom functions or scripts defined in the application's
script file.
When this version is finished and tested will I begin to port it to VB
COM plattform. But the JAWS only version opened for me great
possiblilities in the allday usage. For example: based on it can be
easily developed an "Application Configuration Loader", which makes
possible to use as many configurations as wanted with a single
application without changing confignames.ini file. In my case I often
need Notpad to run with several configurations. Currently to change the
loaded configuration is not the easiest thing you can do with JAWS. But
this simple framework makes it easier. I can simply fill the list with
the names of the configurations designed to use with Notepad and I can
select it from the list. And this changing does not modify the original
assigned configuration. So next time I start Notepad it will be started
with the original one. Or it makes possible that only script file should
be changed. Other things, like dictionaries, reading schemes, etc.
belonging to a configuration remain unchanged. But the possibilities are
endless...
So, a little patience, please. I'll shortly finish it and will make
available for testing.
Csaba
