My first reaction would be to try non scripting solutions like Reclassifying 
the window as a list view or tree.  This could allow JAWS to properly 
navigate in the list.  To reduce speech for the list, I would try the JAWS 
"Customize List View" feature.  I mention these basic tools in case you have 
not tried them yet.  I am not sure either of these tools will work in your 
case since the window class has multiple uses in the application.

If these tools do not work,setting the MSAA mode for the application might 
make functions like ItemChangedEvent work.  I have done this to override the 
normal handling of a difficult list view.  To do this, add the following 
line to your application's JCF configuration file:
MSAAMode=2

Then write a version of ItemChangedEvent to perform the actions you want to 
occur each time the focus changes to a different item in the list.
