hi guys, i have a problem. i'm using sn0wbreeze from http://www.ih8sn0w.com to build a custom firmware installation file for my iPhone. the problem i have, is that instead of there being a next button in the program to move on to the next step, there's a blue arrow. the arrow is not shown as a button or any kind of object in my screen reader, so i can't interact with it. what i need, is a way to locate the blue arrow on the screen, move the mouse to that position and click it. i have looked at the PixelSearch function but can't figure out how to find the arrow in question. if anyone has any idea's at all on this, i'd be greatful to here them.

thanks for the code sample. i'll take a look and report back on my progress. once again, thanks for all you're helpful input.

thanks for the site feedback, i'll find the offending pages and fix them ASAP.

hi thanks for the replies. firstly, i am using supernova screen reader, zoomtext is a pile of s**t smiles secondly, the problem with the gui is that only the first 3 or 4 buttons are read, so i assume the gui is not properly being displayed on screen (going off screen). i don't know how the controls should be positioned in order for them all to be visible at the same time, even when the window isn't in a maximized state. any suggestions and modifications to my code would be greatly appreciated, and i am willing to try out all modifications posted. once again thank you for your assistance, this forum is the friendliest coders forum i have ever come accross, other forums seem to frown on blind programmers as if it's ilegal for someone like me to write software or something.

hi brewman i don't think i outlined my problem properly in my last post, what my problem is, is getting the gui controls properly positioned on the screen. would you mind editing the code i posted in my last post with the correct coordinates for the gui? it would be most helpful. thanks in advance.

hi guys, i have a little gui i need positioning correctly. as i am blind, i am unable to position it my self. i would be very grateful if someone would help with this. ;create a gui Local $GUI = GUICreate("Shared folder", "900", "900") ;define a status bar Local $SBar = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($GUI) ;set the status bar text _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($SBar, "Select shared folder to send a message to.") ;create gui buttons Local $F1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("1", 40, 100, 80, 30) Local $F2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("2", 120, 100, 80, 30) Local $F3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("3", 200, 100, 80, 30) Local $F4 = GUICtrlCreateButton("4", 280, 100, 80, 30) Local $F5 = GUICtrlCreateButton("5", 360, 100, 80, 30) Local $F6 = GUICtrlCreateButton("6", 440, 100, 80, 30) Local $F7 = GUICtrlCreateButton("7", 520, 100, 80, 30) Local $F8 = GUICtrlCreateButton("8", 600, 100, 80, 30) Local $F9 = GUICtrlCreateButton("9", 680, 100, 80, 30) Local $F10 = GUICtrlCreateButton("10", 760, 100, 80, 30) Local $Cancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 840, 100, 80, 30) thanks in advance

i don't need the modifications made now, i did it my self. i only asked because i didn't think it'd be so simple, but looking through the code i was able to adjust it accordingly. thanks again.

thank you very much for your prompt response. i have tested the provided script and it works fine. i know this is a bit much to ask given your already provided help, but could you possibly post an updated version that accepts the title and text parameters please? thank you.

hi guys, i have a bit of a problem. i need to collect input larger than 254 characters from an input box. as the autoit built-in inputbox() function doesn't do this, i've been looking for a replacement. i can't find one anywhere, so i am posting here to ask for help. i am unable to design one my self because i am fully blind and have serious trouble with gui's. so my question is, would someone be kind enough to post a script that accepts the title and text parameters of the normal inputbox function? i have no need for the other parameters. thanks in advance.

hi guys, check out this little udf. it's not much, but at least it's not just sapi. ;speech udf ;uses either sapi or google speech. ;function ;name: _SpeechGet ;description: generates speech and outputs it to the speakers. ;usage: _SpeechGet($Text, $Engine) ;$Text = the text to speak. ;$Engine = the speech engine to use, 0 = microsoft speech API 5x, 1 = Google translation API. 0 is default. ;returns 0 if no errors, 1 for errors. Func _SpeechGet($Text, $Mode = "0") if $Text = "" then Return 1 if $Mode > 1 or $Mode < 0 then Return 1 if $Mode = "0" then ;create speech object Local $Voice = ObjCreate("Sapi.SpVoice") if not IsObj($Voice) then Return 1 EndIf if $Mode = "0" then ;speak the text $Voice.Speak($Text) Return 0 else ;use the google translation api to get the speech InetGet("http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?q=" & $Text, @TempDir & "\tempspeech.mp3", 1) ;play the downloaded speech SoundPlay(@TempDir & "\tempspeech.mp3", 1) ;delete the temporary file FileDelete(@TempDir & "\tempspeech.mp3") Return 0 EndIf EndFunc let me know if you enjoy it, or if you know of any other web based speech services i could add support for.

to add to my last post, i think it wasn't working properly for me because the TrayAutoPause option is enabled by default, i disabled id it and now everything works fine. once again thanks for all you're help.

hi that's loads clearer. i don't think i've been functioning at full capacity this morning due to the fact that i've only just eaten. thanks allott for your help. that's made my life easier.

hi you're example was pretty strait forward, but how can the app tell what item someone clicked?

hi smartee ubound does in deed give me the max index, kinda like ArrayMaxIndex does, but i don't know where to start when performing case statements. i have tried using loops, an example is below. $Array[0] = TrayCreateItem("Item1") $Array[1] = TrayCreateItem("Item2") $Array[2] = TrayCreateItem("Item3") ;etc $Items = UBound($Array, "0") While 1 $msg = TrayGetMsg() $Count = "0" While 1 Select Case $msg = $Array[$Count] MsgBox(64, "Info", "Item " & $Count & " was selected.") if $Count > $Items then ExitLoop EndSelect WEnd WEnd this doesn't work. i would rather not use an array, but can't figure out how to create a variable named based on a counter, for example $MyVar$Counter. Any ideas?

hi i wonder if anyone can help me with this little problem. i have an array of tray menu items. by the time the array is created i will not know how many elements it contains as it can vary depending on system configuration. how can i perform case statements on each element in the array but not go past the max index?
