We need access to keys for getting to the output window and the object
browser. I emailed the author of the editor, we will see what he or she
says.

It could be scripted though probably.

This really is cool and I think gives people that feel of an IDE. The
only thing you have to do is get used to us using the derived Window-Eyes
application object for it to work. Meaning instead of just doing:

Speak "hello world"

you would have to do something like

we.speech.speak "hello world"

Which technically is more accurate but more work . So at the
beginning of all your scripts you would just do:

Set we CreateObject("WindowEyes.Application")

And then use we from there for everything. The ONLY thing you would not
have access to using with the we object you just got is the Script object.
Script is not derived from Application, it is just given to an embedded
script. So if you wanted something from the Script object you would have
to just use Script.blah which would of course work fine but VBSEdit
wouldn't know anything about it. Also, what is so cool about VBSEdit is
that even if you use variables for objects it somehow keeps up. So things
like:

Set mySpeech = we.Speech
mySpeech.

Would bring up the autocomplete to what the Speech object has. This is
very fast and more accurate then Aaron's FrameWork script. FrameWork
can't keep up with variable object names. I think if we clean up the few
things that don't speak (like the tooltip that pops up) this really takes
the wind out of not being a full IDE, at least for writing the script in
the editor.

It's pretty simply, really. Just add a reference to the wineyes TLB
(under Tools -> References), then create a WindowEyes.Application object.

So do something like:

Set we = CreateObject("WindowEyes.Application")

Then, if you type w e period, the autocomplete list will pop up showing
all properties and methods of the Application object. The only thing that
doesn't seem to auto speak is the tooltip that pops up when you start
filling in the parameters of a method, for example. But that could be
scripted pretty easily, I beta.

Greetings,

We recently played with an editor called VBSEdit, which is one of the
few designated VBScript editors. It's very accessible, and has a
built-in Intellisense/Autocomplete-like feature. We even added the
Window-Eyes OM to the autocomplete list for grins, and it actually
worked pretty well. So if you're interested, check it out:
