Jacob,

 

I am a little confused about what you are asking. The package manager is a
tool to package your app files into the app package that you can distribute
to other users for them to install your app. It does not check for updates.
When you update an app, you must choose to modify the package for the app
and manually add the updated files again. There is a complete discussion of
the package manager in the App Developer's Reference under the An
Introduction to Window-Eyes Apps section called Packaging Apps. I hope this
helps.

Subject: Package manager update question

 

Hi, all
I'm new to Window-Eyes app development, but not new to programming in
general. I have a quick question about the package manager. How does the
package manager check for updates? I've read the docs for GW Toolkit, and I
understand how the CheckForUpdates object works. What I don't understand is
how the package manager itself checks for updates. Does it fire off a
CheckForUpdates sequence on each app, or does it work via some other method
and where do I find docs for it if it doesn't use the GW Toolkit?

Thanks
