Tim,

it's easy enough to do if you have access to COM in this other application;
do you?

otherwise, I believe you should have access to sendkeys, and you could send
a hotkey (either a global one or one directed at a particular window), and
have a script or window eyes act on the hotkey.

hth,

Chip

Subject: Calling a WE script from another application


Hi,

Is it at all possible to run a function (e.g. reading the current line) by
calling it from another application using an API call? I'm trying to extend
the functionality I can achieve from a self-voicing application I'm working
on that takes input from a specialized piece of hardware.

Best wishes.
