Hi

For the application I was working on at the time, I put a line in my
ScreenStabilizedEvent function to append something to the clipboard each
time it was called.  Then I would do something simple like switch from one
screen to another or tab from one field to another.  After doing one of
those things only once, I would paste the contents of the clipboard into
Notepad.  I saw multiple invocations of the script.  I would then clear the
clipboard and try the next test.  What I wanted to point out was that just
because ScreenStabilizedEvent fires does not mean that the screen has been
completed.  The number of times it fires is going to vary between
applications depending on the interval between writing each chunk to the
screen.  I would expect ScreenStabilizedEvent to be called much less often
than NewTextEvent which is called for every chunk.  I was hoping that
ScreenStabilizedEvent would let me know when the screen is complete, but
that's not necessarily so.

Hi Mike.

Hmmm, tha'ts certainly interesting. how do you tell the differential between
those two things though?

I.e. how could you tell the screen was only being filled the once, and still
seeing multiple firings of ScreenStabilizedEvent?
and, yes, that'd be the trick eh. to know what the time factor was that jaws
waited before it felt appropriate to fire it.
putting a SayString ("beep") in there to test it, certainly it doesn't seem
to fire nearly as often, say, as newTextEvent does.
