The problem is that the manual is extremely old, and it doesn't exactly use best practices. If you compare some of the functions/scripts in the fs sdk to the methods used to manipulate screen details, they conflict. Another note is that (at least the last I remember), the basics manual doesn't show you how to grap and manipulate screen objects such as addons, windows, controls or text based on the control type/ID and MSAA info (if present). This is where I am running into a problem trying to figure this stuff out. -----Original Message----- From: jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris Smart Sent: Friday, November 02, 2012 11:40 AM To: jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: How to learn to write scripts Have you read the Basics of Scripting yet, and worked through the examples?
