Just as a followup, Chip has been great giving me suggestions about some
topics to cover. As Chip explained, I don't really want to have a
formal presentation on one specific topic. I would rather cover a few
on a higher level (we can get low level if we need) but this way it will
get people thinking. I'll be glad to go in whatever direction those
attending the live session want but some of the topics could be:
1) Windows low-level structure and functionality
how controls actually work
what are HWNDS, controls IDs, parent child relationships
How do you monitor them for change
how can you change their spoken fieldname
2) What are Windows messages used for?
Talk about Windows.SendMessage and Windows.PostMessage
Talk about how you can monitor window messages using AttachWindowMessage
3) Understanding MSAA
4) What are .we files
All this should all take about 8 to 10 hours to discuss <smile>.
If you have other topics you would like to hear about, please let me know.
Regards,
Doug

Hi all,
Just a reminder that Doug is preparing a technical (scripting) presentation
for Sunday night's scripting class where he will be the guest speaker,
taking live questions.
We'll be using TeamTalk (the public U.S. TeamTalk server, channel named
"scripting", and password is "gw"). Also, I have a .tt file with all of
this info for TeamTalk available, if anyone wants it, just drop me an email.
Class is Sunday at 7 pm EDT, and lasts for about an hour. Questions from
app developers are encouraged, so bring any problems you've been having,
anything you've wondered about, and get a new point of view this Sunday.
TeamTalk Info:
TeamTalk is a wonderful, free, accessible, voice conferencing system, which
allows
for group conversations using full duplex (everyone can hear everyone else
while
they can talk, just like a phone conference call), with great speech
quality, and
the ability to upload files to the channel so the participants can instantly
share
in files which are part of the conference, and the ability to send private
text messages
to others on the channel, or to the entire group when a written message is
preferable
to saying it. It can be set for either push-to-talk or voice activation
operation.
You can download TeamTalk at
http://bearware.dk
. When you run the TeamTalk installer you need to choose the classic client
with
accessibility as the item to be installed.
You can also download a Window-Eyes app which makes TeamTalk even easier to
use from
