Doug L. has a very good point. Unfortunately iTunes didn't implement
this correctly <smile>. When I did:
Set blah = FocusedWindow.Accessible.Selection
I got a collection of all the children, not just the selected ones.
Welcome to our world <smile>.

If ITunes implemented .AccSelection correctly, you might just be able
to do FocusedWindow.Accessible.Selection to get a list of the selected
children. Beware, though, that Doug G.'s method uses the
State_System_Selected bit, whereas mine uses the .AccSelection list;
and an application should, but does not always implement them so that
their results are identical.

Juan,
You can just go through the children and look at the state of each.
When you get one that is "Selected", that is the current index. So
something like this for example:
set allChildren = FocusedWindow.Accessible.Children
total = allChildren.Count
currentIndex = 0
for i=1 to total
If allChildren(i).State.Selected Then
currentIndex = i
Exit For
End If
next
' at this point currentIndex is the first selected index or 0
otherwise
Of course if there are multiple items selected you would need to
account for that but this should get you going.

Hello,
the list view used in itunes is a WTCustomControl. I have noticed
that in jaws, the index information is given to the screen reader ie:
32 of 1442 etc.
I can get the number of items in the list by accessible.children.count
but what would be some ways to get the current index that is selected?
Thanks for any help.
Juan
