Well here is our stamp of aproval for your current direction. Doug
showed this at ATIA so we are truly excited about where you are
taking this. Our line building code is actually complex and I'm
certainly not the person to try to explain it. We look at clips
horizontally, but we also allow for margins of error to allow for
different font sizes that will change the height of the line for
example so it becomes complex.

All,
WE4Java 0.9.10 is coming out soon.. Main 2 features with this
release are better mouse tracking and the return of sound profiles.
The Mouse tracking is improved and the top-left and route mouse to
focus hotkeys are working (hoping for others by release time). Mouse
tracking also makes use of the new sound profiles ability. It can
play different sounds when the mouse crosses window borders, enters
tool bars or menu bars, or moves from one panel of a screen into another.
Sound profiles is the return of the sound feedback from a prior
release. WE4Java now uses the PlaySound method call for this feature
and thus, doesn't interrupt the speech. All sound profiles info is
now contained in the WE4Java.ini file. The SoundProfile= value in
the Settings section tells what sound profile to use or can be set
to None for no sound feedback. The value of the soundProfile value
is really just another section name in the ini file; so, you can
either use one of the 2 included sections; WE4JavaSounds or
WESounds; or you can make up your own. The values in the profile
section (e.g., BorderCrossing=, WindowOpen=, etc.) simply specify
the name of the wav file to use; so, you can change or remove sound
for any event you like.
Here is 1 question and 1 observation mainly for the GW folks:
If I am coding for mouse read line, how do you normally handle
tracking across the line to see what should be read? Do you simply
move the mouse along the y axis reading as you go or do you employ
some other method?
An observation. I have received much feedback from a number of the
list participants but not much recently from GW team members.
Perhaps, this is simply because it has taken a while to work through
the Vista issue and not a lot of new functionality has been in the
last couple of releases. I just want to make sure I am still driving
this project down a path acceptable to GW Micro.
