Hi Chip: I used the KeyProcessed Event Handlers.
I picked up the Key Object from the Keyboard Object instead of from a CursorKey
object which I think is the same Key object but defined in diferent places.
That said I see where a CursorKey itself might offer the execution of the first
and second event without impacting the Target Application since it is a WE
operation.
Perhaps it's Key Object is somehow diferent than the Keyboard Object's Key
Object.
I am thinking of defining a CursorKey in the We Dialog with undefined actions
and then accessing it in my script where I can tweak the scope and action
properties which are likely irrelevant to this requirement but may be somehow
helpful.
Then I can pull the Key Property from the CursorKey object.
What about the actions?
I have never worked with Actions but an action might not require an event
handler.
Otherwise can you or Steve give me an idea of how best to define a CursorKey
to work with from within an external script?
I should think the Key object is going to have the same problematic event
handlers in the KeyProcessed Events but I will try out your suggestions if I
can define a CursorKey to use.
Any suggestions on adding one to the WE Dialog and using the Keys Object to
then pkull it into my script?
Rick USA.

Rick,
Steve and I have both suggested you use a cursor key for this (it prevents
any possibility of effecting the underlying program); Bruce suggeested the same
idea with the onKeyProcessed event. I don't see why you would pass these over.

Hi Bruce: I ran some more tests and found that when I closed all windows I
could still tab around to the buttons for hidden items of varying sorts.
Also, Automation Focus tracked the Tab item being found.
It appears that what is shown depends on the Selected Item in the Tab
Group rather than what has focus.
So I will be trying to figure out how to work with the Selection Pattern
or the SelectionItem patterns to see if there is anything there.
What a friggen pain in the colon!
