Jeff,

Right, if you change what is displayed on the braille display, when it comes time for Window-Eyes to update what it thinks should be there it will kill your text. So yes, if you want something to stay there in tandem with the WE text you can free a section. If you want to take over the total display then you could freeze the entire display.....or at least the total unfrozen section.

To unfreeze a section, just lose the scope of your variable assigned to the frozen section. WE takes care of the rest.

Yeah, I got that far this weekend, but I sent a string to the display and it got there but then disappeared rather quickly. Do I need to freeze the display and if so how do I unfreeze?

    Jeff,

    You should look at BrailleDisplays.Active.Type

    If this is 0 then there is no braille display.  Anything other
    than 0 you can look up the BrailleDisplayType enum to see what
    display it is.  You can also use:

    BrailleDisplays.Active.Description to get the name as displayed in
    the select braille display dialog.  If they have no display
    selected you'll get back "None".

    Hello GW,
To detect if a braille display is connected and active, do we
    simply use the Application Braille property and insure it is not
    nothing?
