Chip,
Yep, that's perfectly acceptable. If you know what type a window should
be, you can set it's Type, and Window-Eyes will attempt to treat it
accordingly. That may or may not work, but it's certainly a place to
start. The only caveat is that reclassing, just like using the reclass
dialog, does have the potential to blow things up. But there's no way to
know if that's going to happen or if you're going to have success unless
you try. So go for it.

Hi all and especially GW,
I have an inaccessible app (visual foxpro).
part of the problem seems to be that everything is a custom control, and
they all have custom classes which are all the same, and the styles are
always the same, so trying to use reclass hasn't yielded any better
results; it just reclasses all objects to be the same.
I was wondering, if I wrote a script which dynamically figured out what
various objects really were, could it reassign their class properties on
the fly, making one a button, and one a listview, and one a dialog, and
so on?
I'm not asking if that would stick permanently, I realize the script
would need to be run each time the app started, or each time a dialog
opened; I'm asking would it help window eyes and would it stop the app
from running in any way? is this a valid idea for improving the
accessibility of the app?
thanks.
