If it's a regular status bar, you can watch it through MSAA. Otherwise,
OnChildClipRendered will do the trick.

control for the status and go that way?
I'll look at the Miranda scripts as well.

Your best bet would probably be to watch the status bar for
changes. 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.

Hello. I want to write a quick script for those of us who still
use the ancient Windows Messenger and refuse to update, namely to
read text as it is displayed.
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.
