I don't know a way to translate from that function to actual objects,
which admittedly is a big reason I don't often use that function. You
can get an MSAA object from a window handle in most cases via the
following trick though:
var object o, int childID
; We assume hwnd is a valid window here...
let o = getObjectFromEvent(hwnd, ObjID_Client, 0, childID)
ObjID_Client is -4, in case you're using a JAWS version old enough not
to have that one. If your JAWS does have it, it's in MSAAConst.jsh,
which you of course will need to include.

Hi
If the object's name was obtained using the GetListOfObjects function, is
there a way to get the object and child id using the name or any of the
information returned by the GetObjectInfoByName function?
Thanks.

This might help:
int function getMSAARect(object o, int childID, int byRef left, int byRef
right, int byRef top, int byRef bottom) ; Get the bounding rectangle for the
given MSAA object and childID.
; The rectangle is returned 1-based, as JAWS likes its rectangles.
; MSAA provides 0-based left/top/width/height.
if !o then
let left = 0
let right = 0
let top = 0
let bottom = 0
return False
endIf
if !childID then
let childID = 0
endIf
o.accLocation(intRef(left), intRef(top), intRef(right), intRef(bottom),
childID) if !left && !right && !top && !bottom then
return False
endIf
; but we want 1-based left/right/top/bottom.
let left = left +1
let top = top +1
let right = left +right
let bottom = top +bottom
return True
endFunction

Hi all
Can anyone suggest the best method to move to the screen psotiion of an MSAA
object. I'm finding myself being able to find the msaa object, but needing
to move to a graphic to the left of it on screen. Any suggestions on the
best method would be helpful.
Thanks.
Regards Nick
