Hi Paul,
The first question I ask myself in these situations is "Is there any visible
characteristic that will tell you that the box is inactive?" In other words
does it have a different color, different font, or some other attribute that
you can check in an "If then else" statement. I am assuming by your
description that the box is always displayed, but cannot always be used
unless other fields or boxes have been used first. Once you know how it
changes, then hopefully you can write a script to check whether the box has
the characteristic that is needed to tell you that it can be used. You can
use the INSERT+F to give you font information about the box. You can use
INSERT+5 to give you color information. I am assuming that the box has a
different visual appearance for sighted users of the program and that that
appearance changes when the box is ready to use.
There may be other ways to check the condition of the box, which other
people on the list might suggest.
Let us know what you find and whether you need help constructing an if then
else statement.
John

Subject: [jawsscripts] Trying to create condition for active or inactive
combobox!
Hi All,
I am a fairly new scripter so please give me the answer I hope to receive
here in simple language,smiles!.
I am trying to script a condition ina script for a combobox which if the
previous instructions of the particular software aren't carried out prior to
reaching this combobox then it won't be active. I can script to move to it
when its active but also when its inactive however I would like if my script
conditions could notify me if the state of the item is inactive but I don't
know how to go about doing this so any help would be good.
Many thanks,
Paul.
