Ralf,
The Text object will automatically update the Text.Point priority for
the prior and next versions. This makes it very easy to do what you
want. But you have to make a copy of the Text object and use it. I'll
explain why in a bit. But here is how you would do it:
Set oMonitorPosition = ScreenPoint(27, 559)
Set myText = Text;
' this speaks 1 line up
Speak myText.priorLine(oMonitorPosition).ClipsText
' this speaks 2 lines up
Speak myText.priorLine.ClipsText
' this speaks 3 lines up
Speak myText.priorLine.ClipsText
' and so on...
Notice I only specified the starting point on the first call and from
then on I just used the internal Text.Point property which Window-Eyes
kept updating for me. The reason you have to have the line:
Set myText = Text
is because if you do all this directly with just Text then you are
making a copy of the object to get the priorline and Window-Eyes updates
the point but then poof, that instance of the object is gone so you lose
the updated point. Making a copy of the Text object first keeps the
point property alive.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Doug

Hi all,
Maybe someone of you could point me in the right direction.
I'm using the text.priorLine to read a line of clips above the
currentweCursor position. This works, as expected great, but I can't figure
out how to go up one line again. I don't understand the .point method to get
the point of the first text.priorLine. Here is a small example:
oMonitorPosition.X = 27
oMonitorPosition.Y = 559
WECursor.Position = oMonitorPosition
'this speaks the clips in the current line
sText = Text.Line(oMonitorPosition).ClipsText : speak sText
' this speaks the prior line
sText = Text.priorLine(oMonitorPosition).ClipsText : speak sText
So, I guess, I have to get the .pointthe from the text.priorLine and set
oMonitorPosition to these .point values to do successful a further
text.priorLine, but I have no clue how to do this.
Even the smallest hint is more than welcome ;)
Cheers,
Ralf

J.J.,
There's not one single list, because the error could be coming from any
number of places, (VBScript itself, Window-Eyes, other COM objects, etc.).
What you can do, however, is look up the error code to get a better idea of
what's going on. Sometimes just asking Google what the error code means is
enough to give you come context.
I use the Microsoft Exchange Server Error Code Look-up utility from a
command line, 'cause that's how I roll. You can find it at:
