What I've got here, Ladies & Gents, is an application which, when arrowing thru the treeview, speaks the item but also sets focus to it, which is *not* always a desireable thing. I thought I could get the treeview elements by getListOfObjects, but, no, that only returns the focused item. I also tried messin w/virtualizing the window, but that doesn't allow for activating an item when I need to. I could southern engineer somethin, I guess, but it goes against my flare for the elegant if I can attain it instead of using duct tape & bailing wire. O, I know, I oft call myself the best blind southern engineer on the planet, & the reputation, if not generally desireable, is indeed well-earned, but, yeah, if I can do it elegantly instead, why not? So I thought I'd ask u gurus out there for any tips, thoughts, suggestions, ideas, etc. & as always, they're appreciated. Yall have a blessed day. -- Change the world--1 deed at a time Jackie McBride Check out my homepage at: www.abletec.serverheaven.net & please join my fight against breast cancer <http://teamacs.acsevents.org/site/TR?px=1790196&pg=personal&fr_id=3489> __________ Visit and contribute to The JAWS Script Repository http://jawsscripts.com View the list's information and change your settings at http://www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts
