Jamal,
when you get your final list, please send me a copy, and I will likewise
submit it, smile the squeakier the gear, the more likely they are to notice
and fix it
can anyone give me a more detailed write up on the demise of the multi key
jump to action in the list views? I have Carl from FS waiting on a reply
from me on this issue, but I only saved one note on it, and would like to
give him as many, or as thorough a reply on it as possible!
thanks,
inthane

Subject: [jawsscripts] Proposed enhancements to JAWS scripting language
Although it may be too late to add capabilities to the JAWS 9.0 scripting
language, perhaps easy enhancements might be done, and others would
hopefully be considered for the next version. Based on personal
experience and list observations, I have some suggestions below. I
welcome comments for improving this list before I submit it to FS.
Jamal
Add syntax for iterating through items of a COM collection, without
needing to use syntax like o.Item(i). Other languages often do this with
a "for each" statement.
Add a function to get all text of a control, not just the visible text.
Add a parameter to the StringReplaceSubstrings function so that case may
be ignored.
Add a StringSegmentSort function.
Add a WindowActivate(handle) function for top-level windows.
Add a dialog with a multiple selection listbox, which returns a string
segment list of user choices.
With a user buffer or IE virtual buffer, add a function to get or set the
zero-based index of the cursor. Also add a function to get the entire
user buffer, and another to select a range specified by two index points
in the buffer.
Add the capability of dynamically calling a Win32API function at runtime,
passing or receiving integer and string values by value or reference.
Add a floating point, numeric data type.
