The JAWS Toolbox from Doug is a great tool for exploring MSAA information
and I like the fact that it is very easy to install and use.
However, just because I know it really well, for years I have used Jim
Snowbarger's JLS scripting Utilities for my various projects. I don't use
them when I script at customer sites because they are reasonably complex to
install, but I have them installed here at home where I do quite a lot of
work and there is a whole suite of tools in there related to grabbing MSAA
information.
I don't see too much mention of these utilities on this list, but they are
now free of charge and can be downloaded from Jim's web site at
www.snowmanradio.com
Jim taught me a great deal when I was starting out scripting about 7 or 8
years ago now, and it was about this time when he started developing the JLS
utilities. So if you haven't taken the time to look at those, you may care
to do so.

I found the 'bx' tool to be much more understandable when researching MSAA.
I still have a long way to go, but I have gotten Communicator to do quite a
bit.
In terms of checking for MSAA, the MSN scripts have a if statement that
appears to check this. I can search the code if you need me too.

How do you find out if the application you are scripting uses MSAA? Is this
something a developer does consciously, or is it generated automatically by
the development environment? Where can I find information about MSAA from
an accessibility tool (JAWS) viewpoint rather than the application
perspective? I know the Home Row Utilities can reveal some MSAA info, but I
have not taken the time to figure it out yet. Besides, I do not know any of
the structure or terminology.
