Would I use a specific statusbar event to do this or would I find the control for the status and go that way? I'll look at the Miranda scripts as well.

I believe Windows Messenger puts the word "received" in there somewhere when a new message comes in or out. if so, it's possible to grab the text from the message window, parse out the most recent text, and speak it. The Miranda IM scripts take this approach, and with a few tweaks here and there, you could probably get them to work with Windows Messenger. Regards, Steve On 12/23/2009 10:26 PM, J.J.

What would be the best way to do this? I was looking over all sorts of MSAA events but don't think MSAA is used much here. I could watch for OnClipRendered in that window and then compare the text for the read-only edit control vs. the old text and speak the difference. Is there a better way, or might this be the way to go? Thanks much. J.J. Meddaugh - ATGuys.com A premier Licensed Code Factory and KNFB Reader distributor
