Hi,
Have a look at FocusChangeEventX. I may not have spelled that
correctly, but it's near FocusChangeEvent in the default script set.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Trying to use FocusChangedEvent to read some
WPF controls etc.
Working on testing/trying out some of my recent windows presentation
foundation test applets, and after starting off making use of Jamal's
SayTools to get it to tell me information about some of the specific
control types using C# code, and a form of bubbling up onFocus event,
but still having to really sort of custom code each control types
information garnering bit of code, I am now trying out the following
very simple bit of jaws scripting so far:
Void Function FocusChangedEvent (handle hNew, handle hOld)
var
string sDesc
let sDesc = "object name: " + GetObjectName (true, 0)
SayString (sDesc)
let sDesc = "window type: " + GetWindowType (hNew)
Say (sDesc, OT_MESSAGE, false)
EndFunction
Firstly, when tabbing around a window with buttons and textboxes on
it, it will tell me the object name of the control, but tells me it's an
unknown window type every time. OTOH, if I hit jaws key + F1, it seems
to know it's a button and must be pressed with spacebar etc.
Now, when I test this same function on a window including a standard
menu system, the FocusChangedEvent doesn't seem to get triggered at all,
so I'm unable to even see if it's seeing the menu items at this stage,
so I suppose I'll have to try hard code a bit of my own control
interpretation for even menu systems for now, but just thought maybe
someone would have a bit of an idea what else I could try aside from
text searching etc., since it's more like I'm trying to find a sort of
generic, reusable implementation of jaws scripting to help me test work
I do in WPF etc.
Lastly, also if I use the home ro utility, it doesn't seem to manage
to 'see' much in these dialogues either.
Stay well
