Hi all,
I was running through Chap 10 Exercise #2 of the scripting manual and came
across a problem I couldn't figure out. I have included the entire script I
was working on below. I followed all instructions, but when I tried to
compile I was given a message telling me: "unknown variable cKS26." the
following is the info I was asked to enter into my script:
TypeKey (cks26 )
; type the space bar to activate the Application Control menu
; You can find the keystroke constant, cKS26 in the common.jsm JAWS Script
Message file (jsm).
What in the heck am I to do with "cks26)?" I haven't a clue what this is and
I've looked through the common.jsm file to no avail. Where can I read up on
this? (completely confused and dropping fat forehead in hand)
Here is the complete documentation of the script:
Note: I will put *** where I'm stuck.
list of 6 items
. Script Name: MaximizeWindow
. Can be Attached to Key: Checked
. Synopsis: Maximizes the active application window.
. Description: Uses keystrokes to maximize the active application window
. Category: Keyboard
. Assign to: CTRL+M
list end
MaximizeWindow Script:
Script MaximizeWindow ()
Var
string sKeystroke
let sKeystroke = "X"
SaveCursor (); save the active cursor
; before we activate the menu then maximize the window, we must be sure it
is not already maximized.
InvisibleCursor ()
SaveCursor (); save the invisible cursor
RouteInvisibleToPC (); move the invisible cursor to the location of the PC
cursor
; The following three statements move to the restore or maximize symbol in
the upper right corner of the application window
JAWSPageUp ()
JAWSEnd ()
PriorWord ()
If GetWord () == "Restore Symbol" Then; check for the restore symbol
SayFormattedMessage (OT_MESSAGE, "The window is already maximized", "Window
is maximized")
Return; exit the script as the window is already maximized
EndIf
SpeechOff (); turn off speech
ActivateMenuBar (); activate the menu
Delay (3); give the menu time to open
If MenusActive () Then; make sure the menu bar is active or open
***TypeKey (cks26 ); type the space bar to activate the Application Control
menu
; You can find the keystroke constant, cKS26 in the common.jsm JAWS Script
Message file (jsm).
; This file is already included in the default script file, Default.jss.
Delay (2); allow for the system to catch up
TypeKey (sKeystroke)
SpeechOn ()
SayFormattedMessage (OT_MESSAGE, "Window Maximized", Maximized")
Else
SpeechOn ()
SayFormattedMessage (OT_ERROR, "Menu could not be activated")
EndIf
EndScript
Tip: Like the messages in the previous exercise, you can add the messages in
this exercise to the same message file. See 8.0 Creating and Speaking
Messages
for more information on the creation of individual messages within a message
file.
Thanks
Matthew
