Hi,
I'm wondering if someone has or can point me at a code snippet to look at.
I'm working on scripting a call center application we use at CNIB. The
good news is I don't need to do much.
One thing I'd like to do is pull the names of the staff and filter
that list by who is currently available or logged in. All the staff
names show up in a listbox that can be navigated with the arrows. JAWS
reads this list correctly. There is a graphic next to the names that
indicates their status. JAWS also reads these graphics (if labeled).
So, what I need to do is parse all the entries in the list and find
the ones that have a certain graphic next to them. The graphics are
spoken when I arrow through the list. I'd then like to present a JAWS
dialog with all those names in a list.
I guess I could  also bring it up in the virtual viewer.
The main thing I can't figure out how to do is step through all the
items in the list in the application and do something with them. Can I
do this by grabbing the list object somehow?
I'm not a scripting expert by any stretch. If I can look at a code
sample, I can usually figure out what it's doing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
