yes, this approach can work, but it relies on your knowing the checked or unchecked state so that you can label the graphics. I think that's what Rick was asking about (short of getting sighted help).

It is a ListBox of items to install. I can not hear what the Checked status is of the Items CheckBox. I have used a script to look at the individual ListItems and can get the Text and Data properties. The text is the text of each item to install. The data appears to be unique integers.Is there some way to intarregate the status of the checkboxes? I can't even find them but every once in awhile I will her one of them say Unchecked when cursoring up and down but 90 percent of the time they don't speak anything. I would have them speak their state, checked or unchecked or partially checked but I can't figure out how to even get the current status of them since there is no CheckBox control as far as I can tell but I should think there is one somehow. the TypeName method returns the string value "ListBox". Is this a value supplied through WindowEyes? I am wondering since I see a CheckListBox in the .net framework and my Target App is a Windows XP Feature so might be using the .net Framework objects - just not sure. Anyway, I am looking for ideas how to determine if one of the items in the ListBox is checked or not.
