It sounds like you are writing a program in C or C++ and I'm guessing it is what Visual Studio calls a "console application". If that assumption is correct, then when you run the program, it opens a console window and displays all text output in that window. When the program exits, the console window says "press enter to close the window" or something like that. Before you press enter to close the window, you should be able to read the text in the same way as you would with any Windows command shell.
In my experience, Windows command shells are kind of difficult to use with JAWS. If the amount of text output is small (that is, it all fits in the console window without scrolling), then you might be able to read it by virtualizing the window (INSERT + ALT + W). This displays ONLY the text visible in the command shell, so anything that has scrolled off the top will not show up in the virtual viewer. If your application is NOT a console application (that is, it's some kind of GUI application), then I'm not sure where standard output goes. There might be a compile option to open a command shell, in which case it would be displayed there, just like a console application. But I really don't know. If I remember correctly, there are some JAWS scripts that make Visual Studio easier to use (hotkeys to examine the value of variables under the debugger and that sort of thing). You might consider joining the program-l mailing list, which is for blind software developers. You might get more help in that list. For information about that list, send email to [email protected] with the subject "faq" and you should get a reply with info about subscribing, etc. I hope this helps. -Paul > -----Original Message----- > > I just installed visual studio 2010 and am using it with Jaws.
