couldn't you use an EDIT box for the purpose? If I understand your case correctly. You might want to make the Edit box "read-only", if the box only is to display messages produced by your app. Alternatively, you could simply use message boxes (MsgBox in VBScript). The only drawback of a MsgBox, is that it does require some user interaction. Well, finally, what crosses my mind, would be the extended version of MsgBox, which is called a PopUp. It will require you to implement the Shell object in your code, but does hold the facility of only displaying a message for a preset number of seconds.

Subject: Window-Eyes app question


Hi All,


I am writing an app in Window-Eyes using VBScript. In my app UI, I want to display text messages in a given section, where all the messages will be displayed and window eyes will speak them out.
The question is I am not clear which interface element should be used to implement this text section. Any suggestion?


Thanks,
Yi
