Re: Software Applications and Operating Systems (1194.21)

Hi Phillip,

>From what I read, when the user is down-arrowing through a tree, the cursor
in
the Windows Magnifier should follow the selection in your program. That
apparently dosen't happen automatically. Does does appear to happen
automatically
with menu selections however. I had the feeling that there was some windows
API you
have to call to make this happen. However, re-reading it, it may not say
that.

Specifically, on input fields, it already does that when you tab between
them. It
seems most things happen automatically except for the virtual tree view I'm
using. I note that the tree in Windows Exploer does work as expected, even
though the virtual tree view I'm using highlights the nodes just like
Windows
Explorer.

It also seems to indicate, in the standard, that checkboxes and radio
buttons must
say what is selected, in text. I've never noticed this in any program I've
used,
though.
