Aaron, after the dialog is up, couldn't he set the window type of his static window to be that of a status bar, then wouldn't WE find it even if it weren't the bottom most text? Chip

Doug reminded me that someone could change the hot key while your dialog is up, so scratch that idea. On dialogcreate, hook OnHotkey. On dialogclosing, unhook OnHotkey. Then, in your OnHotkey event handler, look to see if you get an hkStatusLine. If so, do whatever you need to do, and return True. Otherwise, return False. Alternatively, is there a certain characteristic I can give to my statusbar in the dialog box to make WE recognize it? I have it as a static item under the listview currently. The Window-Eyes status bar algorithm will use whatever the last line of text is if it can't find a real status bar. So as long as your static is the last thing in the dialog, the default status line reading behavior should work.
