Hi Keith, GW has their own wiki, and it's address is http://gwmicro.com/wiki
there you will find part 1 and part 2 of an article I've started designed to help beginning scripters. In the first part are some links to various online VBScript tutorials, and I'd recommend following those links, or searching out your own. As much as we all want to help here, it makes little sense for us to reinvent the wheel (I mean, teach you VBScript when many other people have already attempted to do this). when you feel you've got a grasp on VBScript, that's a good time to come here and ask questions, read the wiki, and download the various scripts mentioned in part 1 of my article which are designed to help you learn to script. Yes, the framework script is one of them; it's great because by having you answer a few questions regarding what you intend, it can produce a basic working script for you, with a lot of the hardest, window-eyes specific, parts already written for you; just ready for you to expand on. I wasn't sure from your post if you felt like you could already program in VBScript or not, so if you do, in addition to Tom's suggestions and the wiki articles with all the resources they point to, you can also just download some scripts and start looking at them. they too can be a good learning experience, especially the simpler ones. Also, do you live in a city where GW is coming to teach their scripting class? you could consider taking it if so, and trying to convince them to sell you a recorded version if not. I've always thought selling the recorded audio of their classes would be very helpful. good luck, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Keith Hinton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, August 21, 2010 10:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Window-Eyes Script Writing Hi, I learn best through audio examples mainly recordings, etc that demonstrate tasks, even ones like Window-Eyes scripting. I have a grasp not an extremely detailed grasp, I will be the first to admit, but enough of a grasp on the visual basic scripting language to write VBS scripts for Window-Eyes. I have listened to a few audio files, such as the CSun files where Aaron and Doug demonstrated in that four hour training session some of the scripting concepts, including the beginnings of how to write one. I had some trouble following along with it though due to the number of computers talking all at once. :) Recently, while browsing through the scripting repository on GW Micro's Script Central Platform, I noticed a Scripting framework script. I was curious if this would be a good starting point as it presents dialog boxes to the user for writing scripts? I find the idea of entering a text editor and typing out common blocks of commands as if I were a computer, somewhat repetitive. Any other suggestions? I listened to Jeff Bishups ACB Radio presentation and thought that he was going to do something on how to write scripts in an audio form.wich I think that some well-known scriptor of Window-Eyes should consider doing, as detailed as the Jim Snowbarger searies was on JAWS for Windows scripting. Maybe something that spans 5 or 6 episodes of MP3 recordings, wich each going into more and more topics, ranging from the most basic speak "Hello World" example, to the most difficult task possible with Window-Eyes scripting as it stands today? Curious on that one. Let me know! At any rait, I think that something like this should be created in an MP3 format and the lessons archived on the web somewhere, even if payment is requried to purchase such recordings. Maybe someone at GW Micro or elsewhere would have an interest in designing such a thing? Jeff mentioned something about it, but I haven't seen anything. Oh and Jeff..I attempted to send you an emial to your [email protected] address with a few comments about your Skype scripts, as well as on the Script Central page for those scripts, but haven't seen anything. Are you still around? :) Thanks again to all! -- Regards, --Keith Skype: skypedude1234 MSN Messenger: [email protected] Yahoo/AIM/Twitter: keithint1234 Facebook: http://facebook.com/keith.hinton1
