Thanks I have realised I sent the mail to the wrong address it was late and
the PhD is getting to me.

Cheers

Allan

Hi. This question needs to be addressed to orders at gwmicro.com. Also, if 
you already had 7.0, you do not automatically receive a 7.01 CD unless 
you pay for a replacement CD. You can just go download your update.

Many thanks.

>        Scripting
> 
> If Window-Eyes is localized in a language that a script was not
> localized in, the hotkeys won't work because they're not localized to
> the Window-Eyes language. To resolve this issue, we have added a new
> property to the Key object called UntranslatedName. From now on, our
> policy is to hard code default hotkey names in your script, always in
> English, even if you are writing the script in another language, because
> Window-Eyes will always be able to interrupt English hotkey names. They
> can still be displayed to the user in the script language, but they
> should be stored in INI files, and in scripts as English. This way no
> matter what language Window-Eyes is localized in, or what languages the
> script you are trying to use is localized in, the hotkeys will always
> work. Once again, default hotkey names should not exist in the XML
> resource, because they should never be localized. Keyboard.Key will
> accept both Key.Name and Key.Unstranslated name. Refer to the
> documentation for more information.
> 
> Added Mouse.ButtonDownEx and Mouse.ClickEx methods. Both methods provide
> the ability to enhance their respective functions with key modifiers. In
> addition, ClickEx fixes a problem of interrupting speech after
> performing the mouse click.
> 
> If a null string was returned through various Speech event handlers,
> speech would get disabled. This was mainly a problem with Visual Basic
> which would return null for speech events that weren?t specifically
> hooked.  This problem has been resolved.
> 
> The scripting error dialog would sometimes pass a blank string for the
> error description. Now, if Window-Eyes cannot retrieve the error
> description, a default message will be used rather than displaying a
> blank string.
> 
> You can now use language id strings in the XML resource, such as "en" or
> "en-us" instead of having to use a hexadecimal number.
> 
> If was possible for a script to not successfully restart, but you would
> still hear the restart message. This problem has been resolved.
> 
> We fixed a problem where scripts could error when invoking
> Keyboard.Registerhotkey on launch.
> 
> We fixed a problem where you couldn't Control or Shift-Click using the
> keyboard (meaning you couldn't tap the Control key and then press the
> Left Mouse button hotkey to perform a left click).
> 
> We fixed a version comparison problem when installing script package
files.
> 
> Window-Eyes now ensures that any read only attributes on script files
> being installing, uninstall, or used when created packages are cleared.
> This resolved a problem of script files not getting installed, or
> removed correctly.
> 
> The Window-Eyes Scripting Manual has been updated.
