Hi
I would like to be able to do this. I have a program for work where W-E
reads the first three columns that I don't need. I have learned to listen
for the column I want to hear, sometimes takes a second listen.
I am so new that I don't know where to begin to address this so I figured I
would just deal with it for now. That is until this post came along.
Seems like others would like this issue resolved too.
I look forward to further info.
Brenda

Subject: Reading cursor line contents
David:
I would be interested to learn if you ever come up with a solution. I
have a similar application, and I eventually dispaired of ever getting
Window-Eyes to read a part of the cursor line.
Actually, in my case, and likely yours too, it isn't as much a line as it
is the highlighted focus, which is probably reading entries across several
columns. So, it acts sort of like a list view.
In my case, the first column was a lengthy document number. I wanted to
read the second column and beyond, but not the number, which really slowed
navigating the list.
I tried setting user windows, setting hyper-active windows, windows that
trigger windows, float windows, and even the record macro script.
I finally solved the problem in JAWS with a script that turned off speech,
routed the mouse to the cursor, jumped a clip to the right, turned on
speech, and then read to the right of the mouse.
I am not competent enough to write Window-Eyes scripts, so I had a
brilliant participant on this ist basicly write the above into a custom
Window-Eyes script.
Now I have no problems. The script works like a charm.
I'm guessing that your application is like mine and just strange enough
that neither the standard reading tools in JAWS or Window-Eyes quite get
you what you need. Scripts are marvelous things. I think script writing
in Window-Eyes just got easier with 7.1, but I haven't tried it yet.
