Bruce,
Thanks for the class notes from Chip, everybody does have access to these via the GWMicro web site, though I do appreciate the research efforts.
I was attempting to re-do some examples from jaws training to show to my co-workers. One of the the labs moves the jaws cursor to the bottom of the current window and then speaks the information.
I was able to do this fairly easily, but then realized that with the text object I should be able to get data from any line on the screen without moving either the mouse or we-cursor.
I got the outline windows rectangle converted that to a screen rectangle and then asked for the line of text starting at the bottom right of the window.
I was finding that the function was recovering the line just below and to the left of the current window. I had to remember learn that I needed a copy of the text object.
I was not able to determine a good method to move just inside of the outlines edge and just changed my starting point by 20 pixels vertically. I was hoping that the text.priorline would work but had no success there.
Best wishes,
Jonathan
