I had the same notion. When trying it out though, I discovered that the window itself was a custom class, as well as the toolbar window. Neither one used MSAA, and each submenu opened within a new window handle, so JAWS couldn't detect any connection between the two during navigation, nor could it detect the cursor movement when selecting menu options using up and down. It was quite a pain to figure out a work around. The most reliable method was to make the menus a one way trip, since there are levels that reach 2 or 3 levels deep at times. Plus the menus change when you add plugins to increase functionality. It's a weird app. It's frustrating when most of the applications used for producing standards compliant code are designed with completely inaccessible components like this one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Homme, James" <james.homme@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 9:36 AM Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Preventing an MSAA object from triggering > Hi Brian, > I know this is kind of clunky, but if the sub menus always only open a > single level down from where you are, you could send a left arrow to close > the current level when someone moves up or down. > > Jim > > This e-mail and any attachments to it are confidential and are intended > solely for use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
