I'm trying to modify the scripts NewTextEvent and
NewTextEventShouldBeSilent to perform the following:
When a certain window with a certain control ID is displayed, read the
window.
When the window changes, either by being scrolled with PageUp or
PageDown keys, read the window.
If the window gets repopulated (or repainted, as some folks like to
say) with new text caused by other key presses (<N>ext, <P>revious,
<U>p, <D>own, and the DELETE key), read the window.
If scrolling with the Up- or Down-Arrow keys, do not read the window,
just the new line displayed when scrolling takes place.
I almost thought I had it right but discovered that the
NewTextEventShouldBeSilent function caused the window to read once for
each line in said window--5 lines, 5 complete window reads; 35 lines,
35 complete window reads--maddening. This seems like it should be
pretty simple, but it's turning out not to be simple at all. Anyone
with thoughts on this, replies greatly appreciated.
