Gil,

I've not used (or even heard of) JAWS, but it sounds like you might be running up against the fact that VFP controls are not Windows controls -- they are an internal Fox control and therefore don't have a hwnd or any of the other associated Windows paraphernalia.

Cheers,

Andrew

>JAWS from Freedom Scientific is screen reading software. If anyone has worked with this successfully in conjunction with Visual FoxPro 5.0 I'd be happy to get some pointers. I have JAWS 4.02.52 (Their latest version) and every control (textbox, splash screen text, title bar text, etc...) gets assigned a Control ID of 0 and a Class of #32769. The application that a potential client wants this to work with uses all VFP Base class controls. Short of replacing every control with a subclassed control of the same type I'd like to know if it's possible to change either the control ID and/or the Class that JAWS sees.


If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
