Hi Chip: Thank you for these tips. I've listened to the classes you recorded and looked at the coding examples and have found them to be very helpful. I'll fiddle around with HotSpot and see what I can do with it.

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.

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,.
