This single message doesn't seem to be manifesting itself, and I'm given
an error message in this script stating: "compile error, incorrect
parameter format. The statement with the error is as follows:
SayFormattedMessage (OT_MESSAGE, "Window Maximized", Maximized"). If I
Text strings should always be placed between quotes.
So some examples include:
let x ="hello"
X must be a variable of type string.
I guess you can do the same with constants but I am not to good with
jaws scripting.
But remember a constant stays the same value In other words you can only
give it a value once when you define it. But this isn't related to your
question really.
saystring(hello) it will voice the string assigned to the variable hello.
Obviously you will get compile errors if hello is not of type string.
And if it doesn't exist it won't compile either.
Anyway you were missing a quote.
Here is a corrected line:
SayFormattedMessage (OT_MESSAGE, "Window Maximized", "Maximized")
place a semicolon at the beginning of this SayFormattedMessage
statement, my entire script will compile just fine, but I won't hear the
"maximized" message. Again, if I use a semicolon to block this statement
the script works as I can hit my maximize hotkey and any page within IE
will maximize as if I hit alt plus space then letter x. The problem of
course is that I should be hearing the SayFormattedMessage statement
audibly verbalizing the fact that my window is already maximized. I will
paste below the code the scripting manual states should work but
actually doesn't. Maybe you can give it a try and see if it will somehow
work for you. Don't forget to include the TypeKey (cKSSpace) solution
you gave me.
Did you expect to hear the message when you commented it out? You
correctly worked out that was the problem but commenting something out
might make it work but you won't have that code that is commented out
executed.
Did you know that anything to the right of a ; is ignored by the
compiler? So a comment? (Different in other languages like c)
Are you copying and pasting from the manual? Because I don't think the
manual would miss out a quote.
