Hello all, I am scripting an application and trying to make the menu bar accessible. Its current behavior is the following: If I press alt + f I hhave access to the items in the file menu. This same statement is true to all of the other menus in the menu bar. If, however, I press only the alt key to give me access to the menu bar nothing happens. If I use the activateMenuBar() function, I am placed in the menu bar,. I can right and left arrow through the menus, but jaws won't speak the name of the currently selected menu, although if I press the down arrow I am able to hear the items of tthat menu. So let's supose I have three menus in the application, file edit and view. If I press the alt key nothing happens. If I press alt+f I am successfully able to access the file menu items, such as open, close and save. if I use the activateMenuBar scripting function, I am placed on the menu bar, but jaws doesn't speak the currently selected menu. If I, for example, after placed in the menu bar, press the right arrow once, jaws doesn't speak nothing, but if I press down arrow, I have access to the items of the edit menu, such as copy and find, so I know that the right and left arrows are in fact selecting menus in the menu bar, the only problem is the miss of jaws feedback. This said, it's a common problem that I found in more than one application, and I have no idea about how to fix this. VMware servver has this problem also, and this feature is missing in ty scripts, although I am scripting at the moment a different application Do you know how can I make jaws read the menu bar correctly? Thanks, Marlon -- When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows," people just stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, for free."
