Don, u should always route either the jaws or invisible cursor to the
pc because, as u point out, there's no way of knowing where either of
them is. I use either the Jaws home row utility, the ctrl insert f1,
or Doug Lee's most excellent Bx Toolbox to determine what method will
most reliably find a particular window. Not all methods work in all
circumstances. Certainly, if the window has an unique control ID, then
FindDescendantWindow is generally the best bet. Sometimes, if the
class is unique or the window has a name, (not all do) then FindWindow
using either 1 or the other or both parameters can be effective.
Sometimes, u just gotta determine the position in the hierarchy &
traverse it, which is a royall pita. I wish there were a simple way to
do what you're asking (it'd make every1's life easier), however,
unfortunately, it doesn't exist.
