Okay I've been working with Hot Spot for a couple days, and have not gotten to far with it, but perhpas I've missed something in the documentation. I realize it's early yet. I am a coder, but it's really clunky to use, and somewhat scattered from a coding standpoint. Is hot spot designed to get hot spots on the fly of any foreground window change, or can I only create custom spots after I've found/created them? I've written some really good blind mouse code for this in VB.NET(05 but also in VB6), and I would like to collaborate with GW Micro to make a difference in this world. Since the code is innovative by major leaps and bounds, the windows eyes product does look fairly silly side by side. No offense to the longstanding fine company, so please don't take it the wrong way. "The time for change is now", and I am the one that has already done it, so if the development team would like to keep up with modern times and make software that is actually practical for totally blind, then please contact me via email on this list for short demo video. If nothing else it will get you thinking hmmm, that is impressive, why can't we just do that.... I could at the very least make my program WE compatible, so that users can enjoy what they are already used to with some of the peripheral features, while the dominant mouse navigation features will be added. Not ony making it much easier for current blind computer users, but will open the door wide and allow fingerless, mental handicapped, and indimidated blind users to join in the fun too. In just 10-20 minutes, they could be up and understanding how to move around the screen without memorizing dozens of keyboard combos. Physical navigation is better, and will always be to humans, not this cryptic keyboard contorting, and autistic memorization current implemented. Sure the keyboard is a back door for the blind, but it should not be the only one, nor should it be the main door. I will need more testers soon!

That may be able to be setup to do exactly what you want. From: shane findley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2010 8:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Hot Track objects? Thanks. It sounds a little hard to memorize, but I can see what you mean. It is possilbe sort of, but perhaps not really practical to wonder around for any excessive amount of time, unless you already know that there is something there. It would be nice to have a key combo that moves from object to object, as if were a Tab/Shift+Tab order, but instead of focusable windows, it was a 2-D plane of objects. The foreground window, left to right, top to bottom, with custom settings to ommit certain objects like minimize and maximize if the person is totally blind. --- On Fri, 7/30/10, Andre <[email protected]> wrote: From: Andre <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Hot Track objects?

You probably will need the mouse keys. Numpad+7 moves to the top left of the screen, numpad 9 to the top right, numpad 1 to the bottom left, and numpad 3 to the bottom right of the screen. Hope this helps you get going in the right direction. One more thing: Make sure the mouse is set to read the current active window. Play around with the mouse boundary hotkey, control+shift+b.

I have not gotten a response to my earlier post about selecting objects, so maybe I should of asked about Hot Tracking instead. How do you move the mouse over, so that is above an object? Another way to word this might be: Is there anyway to move the mouse over to a window or window object, that is not in the tab/shift+tab order? Basically all child window controls, and all objects on each control including the system titlebar. For example the close button, status bar objects, etc. How do you get to these easily?
