Window-Eyes 8.0: New Features Webinar Recording Now Available for Download!Hi
Rick,
Thanks, was tabbing right by the ToolBar when going to the next control and
did not even bother with it. I had learned how to add a control by just doing
the hotkey ctrl-alt-X and that list box comes up and usually starts at the
bottom but leaves off at the last object you added.
The only thing I was unable to do is delete an object from the form, where
is the delete button?
The Event Button the instructor said was above the properties box, which is
probably the same thing as the Toolbar when you are tabbing out of the
properties window, for that would make sense since you are leaving it and next
in line should be the toolbar logically and the cursoring back and forth has
the buttons and usually first selected are the alphabet and properties buttons;
since you are just coming from there.
So, at least that makes things easier now that you have explained it. I
just don't understand why I ignored the toolbar as I was tabbing to the object
list.
Will check out the events and see what I may have difficulty in since I am
taking a college course in it.
Thanks, Bruce

Hi Bruce:
I am not familiar with an Event Button but you can bring up the Properties
Window while in the Forms Designer and if you tab around it there is a tool bar
you can arrow through to select a Properties or Events view.
After you select the Events View you can tab and move up and down the list of
events for that form or object.
The way I work with events in the Code Editor is to bring up the code for a
form, then hit ctrl-F2 to open a window with 2 dropdown lists.
In the Left dropdown list you can arrow up and down and as you do the
dropdown box on the right is populated with the events for each object in the
left dropdown list.
For example, you might open the code editor for MyForm.vb
then hit ctrl+F2 and then open the DropDown box, arrow down to MyForm
Events and then tab and open the Events Dropdown list.
Arrow down to load or FormClosing, hit enter and the code stub for the
Load or FormClosing subroutine is added into the Code Editor.
All the UI elements and I think even non-UI Elements are listed in the
first DropDown list of objects on the form so this is one option.
The other one is to open the form in the forms designer then navigate to a
control and, or, just hit f4 to open the Properties Window.
Then tab to the ToolBar and left and right arrow through it. You might hear
categorized or alphabetical properties and Events.
The 2 main items are properties and events. if you click properties you see
the Properties for whatever object you are reviewing and you can click
categorized or alphabetical to sort the Properties in that order. If you click
Events then you see a list of events for the control being reviewd and you can
click an event to have the event stub added to the Code Editor for that Form.
I am not familiar with an event button while in the code editor but I have
just never heard of it and it may well be there just not reading.
This is the case in VB.net 2008, I couldnt get vb.net 2010 working due to
some technical problems but it seems to continue to hold up in VWD 2010 which I
have used some.
Also, if you go into the Properties Window via the Forms Designer you can
tab around it to find the DropDown list of Components and I think you can see
all the objects on the form, and select them, from within this DropDown list
inside the Properties Window if you have trouble navigating the Forms Designer
with WindowEyes.
Visual Studio and the Express modules could really use some scripting to
get as accessible as other options might be from postings on other lists but
the .net platforms are complicated to script and it might require working with
the UIA API to do it - not sure.

Hi!
I had asked on the other post, has anyone written any set files for the
Visual Basic 2010 GUI/IDE?
Since you can not reach the event list button on the top right of the
screen and I have no one sighted here yet to set the window parms, has anyone
done a setup of the 2010 code editor window?
For apparently that event list button is on the top right of the
properties screen or button, so I have been told, but the window has no size
when using the mouse, it just has the bottom and top and nothing in between.
So if anyone has done anything on it let me know,
sincerely
Bruce
