So you're saying:
sleep 10
dObj.Control("lvResults").Focus
dObj.Control("lvResults").Items(1).Focused = True
still doesn't speak anything here.
This is pretty mind-boggling.

you're right; I just tried it again and 1 out of 3 tries it did not speak
automatically. but it was focused on this control when it didn't speak,
so
I did agree with your thinking that there's some odd timing issue.
so I looked at the code, and I see you select the first item in the list
after you make the control have the focus, and I wondered if the item was
already selected when the control got the focus, would that make it read
all
the time? so I took the two lines you have, and I reversed them so the
selection of item 1 happens first, then the control gets focus, and in my
test I always heard it speak the first item every time! here are the two
lines I mean below; they are immediately after the sleep command:
dObj.Control("lvResults").Focus
dObj.Control("lvResults").Items(1).Focused = True

Which is odd. Did it speak the first result automatically for you, though?

Yep; I took a look at your existing code and you already had it.
so I ran several test searches, and it always focused for me and I
always
had a selected item. when I looked at the code, it all looked good to
me.

That one doesn't seem to help.
It could always be a bug, but more likely it's my code.

ok, if I had paid attention I'd have seen you say listview and not
listbox.
still, the idea I had is that no item may be selected by default. so I
looked at the manual for listview controls, and then line below might
work
for a listview:
If dObj.Control("lvResults").Items.Count > 0 Then
dObj.Control("lvResults").Items(1).focused = true

I must be off a step, and my scripting manual won't currently open.
If dObj.Control("lvResults").Items.Count > 0 Then
dObj.Control("lvResults").Items.FocusedIndex = 1

No, more like this one:
' after listbox has had data added to it
If oListbox.Count > 0 Then oListbox.FocusedIndex = 1

Are you talking about this line?
dObj.Control("lvResults").Items(1).Focused = True

J.J.,
are you setting the index of the selected item to 1 for the listbox?
I seem to recall having a similar intermittent problem with a listbox
until
I did this (had to check though to make sure the listbox did have
something).

Subject: Timing Issue
In the Blind Bargains Product Search app, there's an edit box for the
user
to type in a search phrase. Then, the results are loaded from the web
and
displayed in a listbox where focus is moved. Sometimes, however, the
focus
is moved and nothing is spoken. I'm thinking it's a timing issue of
some
sort. Should I move focus before the results are there or wait until
they
are for sure populated?
Currently, the listview is populated, and then there's this:
sleep 10
dObj.Control("lvResults").Focus
dObj.Control("lvResults").Items(1).Focused = True
I tried adding that sleep line above but to no avail.
If I wish focus before the search is initiated, there's extraneous
speech
spoken (no selected item), etc.
Thanks for any help.
