Hi Ray,

Sorry, but I don't believe there's an app written for this program.
You should get an app named appGet (which comes with Window-Eyes in the
later versions), because this app will show you (and help you search) all
the apps which are available.  It would always be the first place to start
when looking for any app.

Here's what I generally suggest:

* First, even though reclassing the window didn't help, it might help if you
go to each of the controls you mentioned as giving you trouble, and see if
reclassing the individual controls helps WE deal with them.

* Next, check out an app from GW called HotSpot.  It helps you deal with
inaccessible programs by automating some basic tasks for you, without you
having to learn how to write your own apps.  You do have to learn how to use
HotSpot, but it's much easier to learn than learning to write an app.

* Lastly, there's no single example app that will be much help to you.
There's a series of over 30 hour long classes I recorded which tries to
teach some of the ideas for app development.  These both try to teach you
how to program in VBScript, and, also try to teach you the Window-Eyes
object model and its capabilities which you may draw upon in order to
develop your own app.

Every app is different, and I can't pretend it's easy to learn to write one.
I tried to help with those classes I recorded, but I'm not a professional
educator; I didn't really plan everything out before hand, and there are
definitely things I would do differently if I had the time to redo those
classes.  Still, if you have the time and desire to learn how to program
apps, you can find the recordings and example files of these classes at:
https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/Developers/Interactive_Classes/

You do not have to write your apps in VBScript, but most people find it the
easiest language to start with, and since it's interpreted you don't have to
spend a lot of time dealing with defining types, recompiling every time you
want to make a minor change, and all the examples you will find will likely
be in VBScript.

Hth,

Chip

Subject: Question About CUITe Object Recorder

Hello All:

I am looking to begin developing some automated test scripts for work and
there is a tool called CUITe Object Recorder I will need to use.  What this
tool does is record elements in a website or in an application you want to
include in your test script, and generate C# (C Sharp) class definitions for
them so you can include them in test scripts.

Is there a Window-Eyes App developed for this tool?  If so, where can I find
it?

If there's no app for CUITe Object Recorder, I'd like to try my hand at
developing one.  This tool appears to use a custome Window Class, and
re-classing it doesn't seem to be helping.  I need to be able to access
several buttons in the tool's main or focus window.  There's a record button
to start and stop element recording, an address bar where I need to type in,
say, a web address, an 'add' button to add the elements I want to include,
and a code button to generate the C# class which I can then include in
Visual Studio Premium.  Can I develop a WE app with keyboard shortcuts to
access the button controls and the address bar?  Is there some sample app
code you'd all recommend I check out to see how this is done?  I have read
through the WE App Manual but didn't really see anything that would guide me
in developing this app.

Thanks in advance for any help,.
