Got a couple of related questions.
1. Does anyone have a strategy to determine if the Windows key has been
pressed?
2. Is there any way to intercept the Windows key from going to the system?
Basically, I've been frustrated in my ambition to take control of the
Windows key in scripted environments where students are getting in trouble
by inadvertantly pressing the Windows key. Here's what I've noticed about
JAWS and the single Windows key.
1. In JAWS keyboard help mode, the Windows key is not trapped, but rather
executes its function of opening the start menu.
2. The Windows key doesn't register in the KeyPressedEvent () either in the
currently loaded scripts or the default scripts that are invoked when the
start menu gains focus.
So right now, the only way I know of determining if the Windows key has been
pressed, is to test for its effect in the WindowActivatedEvent (). In other
words, did the start menu open? Fortunately, before the currently loaded
scripts unload and the Start Menu's default scripts load, the
WindowActivatedEvent () contains that information. At any rate, does anyone
have a better strategy to determine if the Windows key has been pressed?
Thanks in advance,
David Pinto
