The only time that I have ever heard WE announce a splash screen is when
my Magic Jack launches. Not sure why this is, but there you are.

Hi Ken,


To understand what a custome control is, first you need to understand
that controls are things you can interact with on the screen. An edit
box for example is where you type something. A rich edit is an edit box
that does smart things for you, like making http addresses so that you
can click them and go to a web site. Treeview and list controls show
lists of information like the files and folders on your computer. Check
box and radio button controls let you choose yes, no, or one or the
other thing. If that wasn't obscure enough, now we get to custom
controls.


When a program is designed, the programmer can use the standard edit
box, check box, button, listview controls that come built in to the
language system being used to design the program. Or, the person can
make their own thing that looks and acts like one of the standard
controls... only it isn't. This is a custom control. Window-eyes calls
everything it doesn't recognize a custom control.


The reason you might hear custom control when a program starts is that
many programs have what is called a splash screen, and splash screens
are often built from scratch by the program designer. The purpose of a
splash screen is to keep you ocupied for the 2 seconds it takes for the
program you just opened to load and be ready for use. Often the splash
screen has copyright information and a logo. Some have anamations and
other things that are entertaining to the visual user who needs
something to draw their eye while they wait for the program to open. As
I said, window-eyes will more often than not fail to recognize the
splash screen for what it is and read it, because of the design.
Therefore, it will tell you a custom control has focus when you open a
program. Then of course it will go off and read the program itself very
nicely most of the time.

Hi list members, Ken here. As window-eyes is running and when I
sign on to AOL for example, the Dectalk voice says, "custom control."
What is it telling me? I know what it's saying when the mouse pointer
changes shape from an hourglass to an arrow, but don't know what custom
control is trying to tell me. Also understand "Ap Starting." Thanks,
Ken.
